Rollup merge of #137949 - jieyouxu:update-install, r=ChrisDenton
Update MSVC INSTALL.md instructions to recommend VS 2022 + recent Windows 10/11 SDK This is generally iffy because we don't consistently [document the exact minimum versions of build tools required to build a given Rust toolchain](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129307). cc #129307, *maybe* rustup docs are outdated? Anyway, I updated this because I was on a slightly older VS toolchain and I couldn't `./x build library` on MSVC (even though maybe a month ago I could) due to CI `rustc_llvm` using stuff from newer Windows 11 SDK maybe. I updated the VS toolchain + Windows 11 SDK, and then I could build. I'm not 100% sure the requirements here are accurate. It might be too high? r? ````@ChrisDenton````
