Subject: [PATCH v3] mingw: replace deprecated GetVersion with RtlGetVersion

The previous way is deprecated and returns
the wrong value in Windows 8 and up,
returning the manifest Windows data
as opposed to the actual Windows data.

RtlGetVersion is the correct way
to get the Windows version now.

Note: ntdll does not need to be
manually loaded into the runtime,
as this is the one special library
that is automatically loaded upon launch.

    mingw: replace deprecated GetVersion with RtlGetVersion
    
    GetVersion has its behavior changed in Windows 8 and above anyway, so
    this is the right way to do it now.
