We added most of the tests excluded the once which are tagged with `browser:chromium-local` as they are currently not working in CI but work locally.
The `--test_tag_filters` option is now passed via command line as it seems that it has no effect as it is passed in both RC and command line. IE command line options are not merged with the RC options but rather overridden.

This commit changes a couple of things
1) Sets the escape character to backtick. Setting the escape character to backtick is especially useful on Windows where `\` is the directory path separator.
2) Install Python since it is a requirement for certain bazel tool chains that are now used.
3) Install VS Build Tools with C++ components as they C++ compilation is required for certain bazel tools chains.
4) Removes Visual C++ Redistributable as it seems that is no longer required because of the VS Builds Tools

Previously we had to share code between upgrade/dynamic and upgrade/static
by symlinking the `src` folder, which allowed both packages to access
the upgrade/common files.
These symlinks are always problematic on Windows, where we had to run
a script to re-link them, and restore them.
This change uses Bazel packages to share the `upgrade/common` code,
which avoids the need for symlinking the `src` folder.
Also, the Windows specific scripts that fixup the symlinks have also
been removed as there is no more need for them.

--watchfs is causing the build to be flaky on Windows because Bazel
doesn't have proper support for watchfs on Windows, but it doesn't seem
to bring much performance on Linux, either.
