When building python using Visual Studio, the curses and curses.module, are not getting built.

The curses module is currently not supported on Windows, and this patch is far more than just updating the VS build. I've updated the title.

Refer to issue31951 for more context.

This will need more work than what's been done in the pull request, as _curses is still not being built as part of normal build, and so is not being tested in CI.
