The Windows build is using xz-5.2.2, it was released on 2015-09-29.
xz-5.2.5 was released recently, maybe we can update this library.

When preparing cpython-source-deps, don't forget to copy `xz-5.2.5\windows\vs2019\config.h` to `xz-5.2.5\windows\` folder.

`\vs2019\config.h` and `\vs2017\config.h` are the same, except for the comment on the first line.

I tested xz-5.2.5 on my local machine, it passed test_lzma.py.
