Reimplement `fileextd.lib` fallbacks in rust #43

Would allow more/most GetFileInformationByHandleEx/SetFileInformationByHandle to succeed on NT-based systems, while still falling back properly on 9x.

fileextd.lib is also still part of current Windows SDKs. Including it however wouldn't work well with the runtime detection in rust9x
