Summary: Remove support for Win16

Initial Comment:
This patch removes support for WIN16 from Python, to 
allow simplification of some obfuscated code (in 
particular in posixmodule). According to PC/readme.txt, 
16-bit Windows is not supported anymore.

In addition to removing this code, it also streamlines the 
usage of the macros: MS_WINDOWS is now 
synonymous to MS_WIN32, and the patch replaces all 
occurrences of MS_WIN32 with MS_WINDOWS. The 
definition of MS_WIN32 is left alone, for backwards 
compatibility.
