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

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()?
