[Burst Complier] - Package description and docs don't list third party dependacies

Package: Burst

-

Building the linked project give's the following error.

Burst requires Visual Studio (installable via Add Component in the Unity Installer) or the C++ build tools for Visual Studio, along with the Windows 10 SDK in order to build a standalone player for Windows with X64_SSE4

The package description and the burst documentation do not mention this. I think it's important to include as I only saw this at build time. I don't use Visual Studio so downloading that + the extra modules, SDKs and tools was an approx 4Gig download and 15Gig install. It would be great to be warned about this so our users can be prepared.

This took a while to install when I should have been building.

Steps to reproduce.
- Uninstall Visual Studio, any C++ build tool and Windows10 SDK.
- Open the project from https://tinyurl.com/y2hpzypt
- Build the Island scene.
Notice issue >> Compiler errors. The Burst compiler has third party dependencies and requires extra tools to be downloaded.
