When compiling ltreesitter on Windows with all the warnings enabled (based on the Makefile), the line with GetProcAddress throws an error. This is because it actually returns a FARPROC (a function pointer type) and the function returns a void pointer (a data pointer type), and such conversion are illegal in ISO C. POSIX implicitly guarantees this.
This PR instead use double casting to return a void pointer. This isn't beautiful, but it tricks the compiler to thinking that it's valid ISO C.
