[Development] Prebuilt 32-bit versjon for MSVC 2017

Hi,
if I want to download prebuilt Qt binaries for the UWP platform then I 
can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of both MSVC 2015 and MSVC 
2017.

It should be possible to offer the same variety for the Win32 versions, 
especially since I think the # of downloads for the Win32 Qt versions 
exceed the # of downloads for the UWP platform (for example, UWP 
requires Windows 10, but Win32 versions also work on Windows 7 and 8).

Rgrds Henry
