Pocketmine-mp: PHP 7.2 windows binaries require VC++ runtime 2010

Issue description

I am trying to get pmmp running in a windows container, I am able to do that with the latest stable and beta versions, but I am not able to do that with the development builds. the root cause is php.exe will not execute. In order to troubleshoot this I had to revert to a windows virtual machine with GUI so that I could run additional diagnostic tools to determine what was missing.

I installed the latest 7.2 windows binaries from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pmmp/php-build-scripts/build/artifacts ( 07407d8d )

Steps to reproduce the issue

... download to new windows server, 2016 datacenter with gui experience.,
... unzip packages.
install vc++ runtime 2017
run php.exe -version
RESULT: nothing executs.
Expected behavior php executes and returns the version header for the build.

OS and versions

I was able to track down that php.exe was trying to load msvcr1000.dll which is part of the vc++ runtime for 2010. It is also loading the 2017 vc runtime, but will not execute unless both dlls are present.

master is the only branch you need. It's for the 1.2 update.

yes, but the php 7.2 rc from windows.php.net does not require VC runtime 2010. it requires vc runtime 2017. The pmmp 7.2 windows dlls require both vc runtime 2010 and 2017. I assume this is because the build script is out of date ? It looks like I am not the only one who discovered this. If this is on purpose, I can submit a pull request to update the documentation.

This is likely something to do with the prebuilt pthreadVC2.dll that's in use. I didn't notice any such issue because I have vcredist 2010 installed anyway. Will take a look later. Thanks.
