Might it be possible to make the footprint a bit leaner, for the Windows installation?

[KimTheLearner]

This is an enhancement to the Swift installation procedure for Windows 10. Below, after describing the concern, I have a request to change Swift - Getting Started. I am new at Swift, and other thoughts are welcome!

Environment

build number: Swift 5.6.1
OS: Windows 10 desktop computer

Issue Description

Installing VS 2019 Free Community Edition causes the install of the IDE, which I do not need or want, and possibly other components. From a reading of the instructions, it seemed to me that the only components I need are the Windows SDK and the Build Tools. I have installed only those, and this is working for me, but of course this should be tested by others.

If that seems reasonable, could you revise the Traditional option on Swift - Getting Started, as shown below? (Or if you prefer, to add this as a third option? following Windows Package Manager and Traditional)

Also, could you add some install details for the Build Tools, and WinSDK? (see below)

Thanks for considering!

Suggested Documentation Fixes

1. On Swift - Getting Started > On Windows > Dependencies,
   change this:

Visual Studio (provides the Visual C++ SDK/Build Tools for additional headers)

to this:

Visual C++ Build Tools (for additional headers)

2. On Swift - Getting Started > On Windows > Installation Instructions > Traditional Installation,
   change this (inside the box):

-------
MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest)
-------
Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0)
-------

to this:

-------
Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 (version 16.11) x64
   vs_buildtools__1022a9f2da084c9eb238c957482fdc73.exe
   https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20studio%202019&wt.mc_id=o~msft~vscom~older-downloads
   Note: to download older free software, this requires you to create an account (free to certain groups) for the Visual Studio Dev Essentials program.
-------
Windows 10 SDK, version 1809 (10.0.17763.0)
    winsdksetup-(10.0.17763.0) for Windows 10.exe
    https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/
-------

3. On Swift - Getting Started, various places,
   change all places where it says it needs/depends on 'Visual Studio 2019' to 'the Windows SDK and Build Tools from Visual Studio 2019'.

4. On Swift - Getting Started > On Windows > Installation Instructions > Traditional Installation,
   under the box with the build tools and Win SDK,
   add:

A note on the Build Tools installer
- This install invokes Visual Studio Installer.
- Go to 'Individual Components' tab.
- Enter 2019 and x64 into the search box to whittle down the offerings.
- Find and select 'MSVC v142 VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (latest)'.

A note on the Windows SDK installer
- Unselect ARM and .NET

At least, I did not need ARM or .NET. Just another way to slim down the installs.

Update, 1 year later:

I verified that the links I specified above are still valid.

@shahmishal Please transfer this issue to swift-org-website for me. FYI, @AnthonyLatsis.
