Update master to VS2017 RC2

[brettfo]

With Visual Studio 2017 RC2 being released to the public this morning, we can now officially merge the vs2017-rc2 branch into master without breaking everybody else (see the thread in #1967 for context.)

[KevinRansom]

Looks good, we should update the readme.md to include a note that Dev 15 VS RC2 will be required for building and Testing IDE components.

[brettfo]

@KevinRansom, I just merged a PR into vs2017-rc2 which updates the docs.

[forki]

didn't you guys promise VS2017 would have C# and VB also as optional components?

[vasily-kirichenko]

In RC1 F# was checked by default in ".NET desktop development" group. I cannot install RC2 since the installer does not work behind the proxy, so I cannot check if it's changed.

[forki]

Nope it was not checked, but I don't know if I'm on RC2 since I'm only seeing "RC" everywhere. Internal version seems to ve 15.0.26009.0

[rojepp]

26009 is RC2.

[cartermp]

@forki No, nobody promised that C# and VB would be optional.

[forki]

oh I can certainly find a couple of these quotes from VS2015 release phase.

[forki]

all along the lines: "we made that for F# now, but in vnext all languages will be optional because our installer will be so awesome and modular".

[cartermp]

I'm not aware of any such quotes, but you're certainly free to raise that issue with appropriate folks. We have no say in this, though.

Something to note is that you could technically follow these same instructions for the "Web" workload, and be just as successful (as it's the .NET Web workload, and F# is also in the same place as .NET Desktop). It's also present in Data Storage and Processing, Xamarin, and Data Science (and the Individual Components tab, but all components are there).

[forki]

I tried to run build.cmd vs on this and got:

[vasily-kirichenko]

@forki I successfully updated RC to RC2 at home (no proxy server, you know...). Then I merged vs2017-rc2 branch to my find-all-references one and build.cmd vs finished OK. After that I could load VisualFSharp.sln and built it. F5 still does not work, but Ctrl-F5 works OK as before.

Looks like things are in a good state again.

I have the same error on one of my machines
