Features: VS 2013 Update 3 supports initializer lists (#15494)

VS 2013 originally claimed to support initializer lists but a bug was
found in which it generated bad code silently.  For this reason we
previously considered support to not be present.  However, Update 3 adds
a hard error on cases that previously generated bad code, so it is now
safe to use initializer lists with VS 2013 Update 3 or greater.  At
worst a compiler error will be issued in the cases that do not work, but
that is no different from any other compiler-specific workaround a
project code may need.
