Description

There are some small issues with dev/release/verify-release-candidate.bat:

• Uses VS 2017 (2019 is current)
• Uses Python 3.6 (others use 3.8)
• conda create command uses relative paths to YML files; these cannot be found
• Uses wget (which doesn't come with Windows) but could just as easily use curl (which does)

Fix these and update the instructions on the Confluence wiki accordingly: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/How+to+Verify+Release+Candidates

But first fix ARROW-11675
