Indeed Go has mutexes of its own, but these are considerably
different from the native Windows ones, that can work across processes
and be put in various namespaces. They're an essential part of Windows
systems programming and important for interfacing with various external
interfaces.

The Go runtime disables priority boosting because it interferes with the
scheduler timer threads in some cases. But some apps might want to
re-enable it for specific reasons, so this commit adds the function to
do so.

While RtlGetVersion was added so that users can get the Windows version
that isn't affected by manifesting, RtlGetVersion is still stubbed out
by the application compatibility layer (aclayers.dll and apphelp.dll)
for certain processes, such as msiexec.exe, rendering these functions
useless for actually determining the underlying operating system. This
matters in the case of msiexec.exe using a custom action DLL to install
a kernel driver, which of course is version specific. This is also
useful, it turns out, for the C runtime library, in which Microsoft uses
this function too. It's existed as a stable interface since Windows XP,
has Wine support, and is used in a decent amount of software.

Other functions, like GetVersion(), will lie about the OS version
depending on various win32 and manifest compatibility shims in place.
Calling RtlGetVersion is the proper way to retrieve the true OS version.

Virtually every project that works with x/sys/window's GUIDs winds up
rolling their own version of this in one way or another. So let's add
the correct win32 wrappers for it, so that these are always generated,
parsed, and converted in the uniform correct way.

I realize that at this time, x/sys/windows is most certainly not aiming
to be some sort of UI library or anything remotely close to that.
However, MessageBox is sort of the one universal Windows API that's used
even for console programs. It's *the* classic debugging helper. It's
even pretty customary for console programs to display their usage
message in a message box rather than stdout. I realize this might be
somewhat disturbing to consider if you're in the blissful Unix utopia,
but on Windows, this is just sort of how things roll. Easy access to
MessageBox() is important.

We already have all the structs and constants for async I/O, and the
various functions of x/sys/windows take the right parameters. But we're
missing the final step of any ordinary async I/O routine: getting the
result of overlapped I/O. Without this, the rest of the plumbing
supported by this module isn't actually so useful. So add this small
oversight.

The current GetProcAddress implementation only resolves functions in
DLLs by name. Add GetProcAddressByOrdinal that allows resolving
functions by ordinal number, using the same GetProcAddress call from
kernel32.dll in the background.
This is particularly useful for some functions (e.g. IsOS from
shlwapi.dll in some older versions of Windows) that cannot be found by
name.
