WinRT: removed Windows 8.0 from build-bot + NuGet package creation scripts According to Steam's OS stats, Windows 8.0 use is pretty much nil. Further, Microsoft hasn't support Windows 8.0 development in any of their actively-updated toolchains, and setting it up can be a pain. In theory, SDL2 still supports Windows 8.0, however building of Windows 8.0 .dlls is no longer the default, if and when using the 'winrtbuild.*' scripts. The MSVC 2012 project files for building Windows 8.0 dlls remain, though, for the time being.
