version_win32: use actual version instead of manifested version

- Use RtlVerifyVersionInfo instead of VerifyVersionInfo, when possible.

Later versions of Windows have normal version functions that compare and
return versions based on the way the application is manifested, instead
of the actual version of Windows the application is running on. We
prefer the actual version of Windows so we'll now call the Rtl variant
of version functions (RtlVerifyVersionInfo) which does a proper
comparison of the actual version.
