win: New PaWinUtil_GetOsVersion() function for getting Windows OS version

[dmitrykos]

As per discussion in #796 introducing a single API for getting Windows OS version in PA that will improve client code readability and reliability.

Additionally:

• refactored WASAPI, DS, MME and WDMKS host back-ends to use PaWinUtil_GetOsVersion() instead of direct OS API

Nice. Thanks for doing this.

LGTM, I'll wait for Ross to review.

Overlooked that WDMKS is also using GetVersion, just added it into the PR.

Hi Dmitry,

In addition to my one review comment, could you please let us know what tests you have run on this new code. Thankyou!

In addition to my one review comment, could you please let us know what tests you have run on this new code.

I tested on Windows 10:

PortAudio Test: output sine wave. SR = 44100, BufSize = 64
before paHostApiInitializers[0].
getting Windows version with RtlGetVersion(): major=10, minor=0, build=19045, platform=2
Windows version=10

also Windows UWP and the lowest I have is Windows Server 2003 R2. I did not test on Windows Vista, 7, 8.

Windows Server 2003 R2 is practically latest Windows XP with 3790 build (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions) which is detected correctly:

PortAudio Test: output sine wave. SR = 44100, BufSize = 64
before paHostApiInitializers[0].
getting Windows version with RtlGetVersion(): major=5, minor=2, build=3790, platform=2
Windows version=5

Unfortunately I did not implement testing of every Windows version that could be done with Docker I believe due to lack of time resource. The underlying implementation is a copy-paste from the WASAPI's implementation which is time-tested on Windows Vista, 7, 8.
