Stop requiring vcvarsall.bat before build_mozc.py

With this commit 'vcvarsall.bat' (and its variant) are no longer
requires to be executed before running 'build_mozc.py', like
'build_qt.py' has never required 'vcvarsall.bat' (and its variant) [1].

'--vcvarsall_path' option, which is available in 'build_qt.py' [2],
is also available to explicitly specify a custom path of vcvarsall.bat
as follows.

  build_mozc.py --vcvarsall_path=C:\VS\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat

Overall this commit should make our build instructions simpler and
easier to keep maintaining.

Closes #923.
