For 2.93 we bumped the minimum windows requirement
to windows 8.1, but did not do any clean-up of any
win 8/8.1 API usage we dynamically accessed though
LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress.
This patch bumps _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0603 (win 8.1)
and cleans up any API use that was accessed in a
more convoluted way than necessary

In older versions the ms crt was only a few dlls, in recent versions
this jumped to over 40 leading to quite a bit of clutter in our
bin folder.
This change moves the CRT into its own folder.
For developers that generally already have the runtime globaly
available on their machine, there is a new cmake option
(WITH_WINDOWS_BUNDLE_CRT, default ON) that you can use to toggle
installing the runtime to the blender bin folder, and save some
time during the initial build, this option is off by default for
only the developer profile.
