mingw: bump the minimum Windows version to Vista

Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to
see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged
and help, vanished into the depths of the universe.

It is time to codify the ascent by the "silent majority" of XP users,
and mark the minimum Windows version required for Git for Windows as
Windows Vista.

This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs.

This also means that we no longer need the inet_pton() and inet_ntop()
emulation, and we no longer need to do the PROC_ADDR dance with the
`CreateSymbolicLinkW()` function, either.
