Win10/Python 3.5.1

If virtual environment was activated using powershell script, it can not deactivate the environment using only provided deactivate.bat.

Pre-condition : Virtual environment already in place.

1. Open elevated Powershell (Administrator access).

2. Activate virtual environment using activate.ps1 (must).

3  Deactivate the environment in powershell using deactivate.bat (since there is no deactivate.ps1).

Observation : Virtual environment never exit.
Expected: deactivate script should be working as expected (as the script name suggests).

NOTE: See attached screenshot.

Activate.ps1 creates a 'deactivate' function, just like activate.*sh on UNIX.  deactivate.bat is an implementation detail, because Windows cmd does not support functions.  In any activated venv on any platform, simply doing `deactivate` should work to deactivate the venv.
