PCbuild/build.bat: Add note about using msbuild response file. (#1551)
Using a response file will eliminate the headache associated with batch argument/quote processing.
For example I unsucessfully compiled python with visualcpptools when specifying VSInstallDir in the batch file (cannot find vcruntime.h)
```batch
build.bat -p x64 -e -M --no-tkinter "/p:VCInstallDir=%VCInstallDir%"
```
but it build successfully when specifying it in a response file
msbuild.rsp:
```
/p:VCInstallDir=%VCInstallDir%
```
