get rid of useless Win9x and NT4 support

Background: We have some code to support Windows 9x by providing emulated wide-character Win32 APIs through unicows etc. That is not needed, we should just use the wide-character APIs directly. While at it, if you notice code that is conditional for NT4, get rid of it. And if you notice conditional use of APIs present on Windows 2000 and later, make it unconditional.

Skills: Win32, building

This is actually mostly done already, as far as I know. There might be some small bits here and there left. But probably not enough for it to be worth keeping this EasyHack open.

Ok, resolving as WORKSFORME for now. Feel free to reopen, if there are parts found that still need work.

removing skillWindows keyword. There is no such thing at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks/lists/by_Required_Skill and having a "skill*" keyword makes the easyHack not even appear on that page even in "uncategorized".
