[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] Don't rely on dropbox files for appveyor (#476)

[Paul Norman]

Currently the dependencies for osm2pgsql are brought in from a compressed file on dropbox. This isn't a good practice, particularly if we start distributing the artifacts on appveyor for releases

The file includes
- [ ] Geos
- [ ] bzlib
- [ ] expat
- [ ] getopt
- [ ] lua
- [ ] proj.4
- [ ] zlib
- [ ] boost
- [ ] psycopg2 (optional)

The lack of a standard well-adopted packaging system like apt for Windows makes everything harder. Appveyor makes [postgresql available](http://www.appveyor.com/docs/services-databases#postgresql) and allows [installing additional software](http://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-configuration#installing-additional-software) with Chocolatey, Web Platform Installer, or PowerShell.

Of what's in the file, getopt is the only dependency that we could probably do without, if we were moving to a different option parser
