Description of change

Added facility to detect extensive installations of Windows 10 SDK. In previous version, only SDK version which comes out of the VS Installer menu list were accepted, because it can go to MS VS Workload like: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.18362.

Contrarily, post-installation SDKs, preferred by early-adopting developers, have not been detected in command inputs like node-gyp configure. This circumstance has slowed down the progress of entire development activities using Node components.
