[Development] Prebuilt 32-bit versjon for MSVC 2017

[NIkolai Marchenko]

This dedication to dropping MSVC2015x32 seems quite stange after the whole
controversy of dropping MSVC2013 and how many people prefered to tread very
carefully and slowly.

Unlike msvc 2013, 15th compiler is way better and doesn't restrain Qt
codebase nearly as much
