Raylib Visual Studio 2019 configuration

@JeffM2510 has made a guide to easy setup for visual studio using Premake. You can read the wiki page about it here. https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Easy-Raylib-Setup-for-Windows-with-Visual-Studio

This is by far the simplest and fastest way to setup raylib for Visual Studio.

Download or clone raysan5/raylib folder.
In "(your_folder_location)/raylib/projects/VS2019" find raylib.sln and open it with Visual Studio 2019.
Go to Solution Explorer window and find raylib project
Right click on it and choose Set as Startup Project
Check Solution Configurations (must be Release.Dll x64)
Go to Build > Build raylib or press Ctrl + Shift + B to build raylib.lib and raylib.dll

Create new project > Console App
Go to Project > Properties
In opened window go to Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General and add (your_folder_location)\raylib\src folder (contains .h files) to Additional Include Directories
Go to C/C++ > Preprocessor and include the following Preprocessor Definitions (for Windows platform):
- GRAPHICS_API_OPENGL_33
- PLATFORM_DESKTOP
Go to C/C++ > Advanced and set Compile As to Compile as C Code (/TC) (if you want to use code from examples) ** Note that this step is not required. By default *.c files will compile with C and *.cpp files will compile to C++. If you intend to use C++ or do not want to forcibly restrict yourself to C, do not change this setting.
Go to Linker > General and add (your_folder_location)\raylib\projects\VS2019\bin\x64\Release.DLL folder to Additional Library Directories
Go to Linker > Input and add raylib.lib and winmm.lib to Additional Dependencies
Go to "(your_folder_location)\raylib\projects\VS2019\bin\x64\Release.DLL" folder and copy raylib.dll and raylib.lib to your project folder. For example, if your project name is "Demo" then copy these files into the folder (your_folder_location)\Demo\Demo.
Set your project's platform to x64 (if you build your libraries in x64)
