Summary

Updated implementation of #894.

Now that we use the standard Windows toolchain, I can resurrect the PR for caching the compilation of model methods. Users will now only have to compile the model methods once for one model, and future calls for other models to $init_model_methods() will simply link the existing cmdstan model object against the cached compiled model methods.

Awesome!
