[issue37841] Python store app launcher has dependency on msvcp140.dll

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

A change made to the python_uwp.vcxproj (or more likely the .cpp file) has introduced a runtime dependency on msvcp140.dll.

As we don't distribute this dependency, and it is not always installed by default, we should statically link it instead.
