Fix our Windows stat() emulation to handle file sizes > 4GB.

Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to Windows'
struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field.

Instead of relying on native stat(), use GetFileInformationByHandle().
This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather
slipshod emulations of stat(). We still need to jump through hoops
to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-(

Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into
its own file, win32stat.c.

Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(),
rather than treating it identically to stat()?
