It does not seem to be the case on a second look.  The buildfarm
animals running Windows are made of:
- hamerkop, Windows server 2016 (based on Win10 AFAIK)
- drongo, Windows server 2019
- bowerbird, Windows 10 pro
- jacana, Windows 10
- fairywren, Msys server 2019
- bichir, Ubuntu/Windows 10 mix

Now that v16 is open for business, any objections to move on with this
patch and bump MIN_WINNT to 0x0A00 on HEAD?  There are follow-up items
for large pages and more.
