Description

• Investigate compiler warnings; for some reason Visual Studio version of Clang needs plenty of new warning suppressions, compared to stock Clang

• Copy Proton DLLs to the directory where the Dispatch binaries are. Windows does not have RPath. There seem to be solutions in CMake for this https://ibob.bg/blog/2018/12/16/windows-rpath/
• Tests have to be able to discover qdrouterd and to run qdstat and qdmanage. Multiconfig project generators add one unexpected extra directory to output paths.
