Remove requirement for VS2015 to npm install #320

Maybe I just don't understand the technology stack at play here, or my laptop is just irreversibly broken (a real possibility), but running npm install after cloning the repo gives me an error asking me to install Visual Studio Code 2015:

60\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(390,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studi
o 2015 (Platform Toolset = 'v140') cannot be found. To build using the v140 build too
ls, please install Visual Studio 2015 build tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrade to
 the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the sol
ution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". [C:\Projects\queue\node_modules\sqlite
3\build\deps\action_before_build.vcxproj]

I'd prefer not to have to download a particular IDE to contribute. If this is an actual requirement due to a dependency, I'm fine with downgrading VS, but it's still not preferable.
