qmuntal 7143f4a4e1 windows: manually initialize NewNTUnicodeString
The `RtlInitUnicodeString` syscall can be avoided by manually
initializing the `NTUnicodeString`.

The process is described in [WdmlibRtlInitUnicodeStringEx](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/wdmsec/nf-wdmsec-wdmlibrtlinitunicodestringex).

The less syscalls, the better. It also makes the function faster:

```

goarch: amd64
