This adds a public API where one can use to see whether the running version of Windows where the code is run is at least the specified version, service pack level, and the type (non-server, server, any) of the running Windows OS. This API is done as: -GetVersion()/GetVersionEx() changed in the way they work since Windows 8.1 [1][2], so a newer mechanism to check the version of the running Windows operating system is needed. MSDN also states that GetVersion() might be further changed or removed after Windows 8.1. This provides a wrapper for VerfyVersionInfo() as well in GLib for most cases, which was recommended in place of g_win32_get_windows_version() for more detailed Windows version checking. -Provides an OS-level functionality check, for those that we don't need to venture into GetProcAddress(), and also to determine system API behavior changes due to differences in OS versions. Also added a note for the g_win32_get_windows_version() API that since the behavior of GetVersion() which it uses, is changed since Windows 8.1, users of the API should be aware.
