[issue38704] No `GetActiveProcessorCount` on Windows Vista

New submission from Arseniy <senyai at gmail.com>:

This[https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/] page says "Note that Python 3.8.0 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier.". I tried to install it on Windows Vista and got a message that `GetActiveProcessorCount` is missing from `KERNEL32.DLL`. This message appears when running python.exe.
I don't think anyone besides me cares about Vista, so I'd change the text to: "Note that Python 3.8.0 requires Windows 7 or later". It's more positive this way ;)
