support for advanced private Windows loader features

Advanced private Windows loader features split off from issue #157 that I'm
punting on for now:

• import by ordinal
• delay-load dlls
• bound imports
• import hint
• TLS (though expect only in .exe not .dll)

Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/dynamorio/issues/detail?id=233

note that some of these are simply performance optimizations (bound imports, import hint)

• read .manifest files and locate SxS C++ (msvcp) and C (msvcr) runtime libs
  for now if clients compile statically (/MT) we're ok

my commit said it fixed this issue but really this is a multi-part issue so not fully resolved yet. r510 added import-by-ordinal support.

Status: Accepted

re: comment 2: either SxS support should be added, or configure support for linking statically (xref issue #544 )

given that SxS for libc is gone in VS2010 anyway, I don't think it's worth
the effort to try and support it anyway, so going w/ requiring static libc
for VS2005 and VS2008 (earlier has no SxS, later has no SxS).

Static TLS is now supported (since Vista) for dynamically loaded DLL's, and it is used in VS2017 for simple things. #4030 covers adding support.
