Keyboard events do not work in Windows build

[cdubz]

I realized I could still open the Developer Tools from the blank window and found this error -

Exception has occurred: Error Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. [...] better_sqlite3.node

This led me to issue 36 for the better-sqlite3 library and the suggested solution there seems to work here as well: node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f -w better-sqlite3

After running that. npm start gets me a window and a loaded city, and keyboard events work.

So, for now anyway, there are two extra steps (3 & 5 below) for the Windows build:

1. git clone https://github.com/rage8885/OpenSC2K or download this repository
2. cd OpenSC2K
3. npm install --global --production windows-build-tools (as admin)
4. npm install
5. node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f -w better-sqlite3
6. npm start

Step 5 solves the Linux problem in issue #5 as well.

Thanks for the feedback - I'm working on getting a Windows VM up and running so I can do some testing there as well.

@rage8885 I'm happy to take a look at getting it to work on Windows later on today if you wanna assign this task to me?

Step 5 didn't solve my problem with windows 10.
