Add support of recent versions of Windows

See original GitHub issue

At the moment cfgrib supports only Linux and MacOS.

For Windows we need:

ecCodes support (experimental)
CFFI support and DLL search capabilities
popular Python distributions
- conda
loose ends
- write support (fix needed in ecCodes)
- broken .idx locking

📢📢📢 ecCodes can be installed on Windows with conda:

> conda install -c conda-forge eccodes

And cfgrib works almost out of the box! 🎊

I’ll be tying up loose ends in the next few days and release a version with full (read-only) Windows support soon.

Thanks @alexamici for the clarification! In fact I (think I) managed to compile some working x64 .exes in Visual Studio as described in your online instructions and I found the lines you cited above, because I bumped into them when trying to open the grib file. I’ll play a bit around and make a PR if I found something that works for me.
