Oliver Hamlet 6f6b2269cf Migrate to windows-2019 GitHub Actions runners
windows-2016 was scheduled for removal in April 2022, though the
previous commit's build still worked.

This also means that the MSVC 2019 redistributable is now required.
Although libloot 0.15 is built with MSVC 2017, 2019 can link code
build with 2017 and the 2019 redistributable effectively replaces
the 2017 redistributable, so there's no compatibility issues.

Usage
*****
Installing the wrapper
======================
Build archives contain two binaries:
* ``loot.*.pyd`` is the Python wrapper
* ``loot.dll`` is the C++ library DLL that the Python wrapper was built against.
The C++ DLL requires the `Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (x86)`_
to be installed.
To use the wrapper, copy both files to wherever you want to import them from
(they must be in the same folder), and you're done!
.. _Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (x86): https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

=================
Checking Compatibility
**********************
To check if the module loaded is compatible with the version of the API that you
developed against::
>>> import loot
>>> loot.is_compatible(0,14,0)
True
>>> loot.is_compatible(0,9,0)
False
Getting a Plugin's Bash Tag Suggestions
***************************************
To get a plugin's Bash Tag suggestions from a ``masterlist.yaml`` metadata file::
>>> import loot
>>> db = loot.create_game_handle(loot.GameType.tes4, 'C:\\path\\to\\oblivion\\directory')
>>> db.load_lists('masterlist.yaml')
>>> tags = db.get_plugin_tags(u'Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp')
>>> tags.added
set([u'Scripts', u'Relations', u'C.Owner', u'Actors.AIPackages', u'Actors.Stats', u'Actors.ACBS', u'C.Music', u'Factions', u'Invent', u'Relev', u'Names', u'C.Light', u'Delev', u'C.Name', u'C.Climate', u'NPC.Class', u'Stats', u'Actors.DeathItem', u'Creatures.Blood', u'Actors.CombatStyle', u'Actors.AIData'])
>>> tags.removed
set([u'C.Water'])
>>> tags.userlist_modified
False
