Document CDB dependency in Windows build for external contributors.

Browse Source 
The Windows 10 SDK installed by Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition
does not include Debugging Tools for Windows. The build process requires
CDB. According to the MSDN page on Debugging Tools, they are also
bundled with the Windows Driver Kit, which is freely available. So, we
can point our external contributors to the WDK to get CDB.
