Windows Build Tools now included with NodeJS installer

Bug Description:

I was trying to build Theia on my local machine following these instructions. The installation for Windows Build Tools freezes after Python is installed. Below is the console log up until the installation freezes:

npm --add-python-to-path install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm WARN deprecated windows-build-tools@5.2.2: Node.js now includes build tools for Windows. You probably no longer need this tool. See https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools for details.
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

Starting installation...
Launched installers, now waiting for them to finish.
This will likely take some time - please be patient!

Status from the installers:

------------------- Python --------------------
Successfully installed Python 2.7

When trying to solve this issue, I found that Windows Build Tools is now included with NodeJS installer and the npm package is now deprecated. See the deprecation message here. Thus, it is not necessary to install Windows Build Tools manually anymore because the NodeJS installer can automatically install the required tools.

Therefore, the instructions for building Theia on Windows should be updated to reflect this change.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Follow the instructions here up until and including installing yarn.
2. Run the provided command to install npm.

Additional Information

• Operating System: Windows 10
