    Bug#24509 - 2048 file descriptor limit on windows needs increasing, also 
    WL#3049 - improved Windows I/O
                            
    The patch replaces the use of the POSIX I/O interfaces in mysys on Windows with 
    the Win32 API calls (CreateFile, WriteFile, etc). The Windows HANDLE for the open 
    file is stored in the my_file_info struct, along with a flag for append mode 
    because the Windows API does not support opening files in append mode in all cases)
    The default max open files has been increased to 16384 and can be increased further
    by setting --max-open-files=<value> during the server start.
                                  
    Another major change in this patch that almost all Windows specific file IO code
    has been moved to a new file my_winfile.c, greatly reducing the amount of code 
    in #ifdef blocks within mysys, thus improving readability.
                                   
                                        
    Minor enhancements:
    - my_(f)stat() is changed to use __stati64 structure with  64 file size
    and timestamps. It will return correct file size now (C runtime implementation
    used to report outdated information)
    - my_lock on Windows is prepared to handle additional timeout parameter
    - after review : changed __WIN__ to _WIN32 in the new and changed code.
