Fix MSVC version error

Fix the error message when MSVC is too old; the old error message claimed to require "14", when it actually requires 19 (a.k.a. VS 2015). Also, note the Visual Studio release year in the message, which is more likely to be recognized by users than the internal monotonic version number.
