Windows gdb+gdbserver: Check whether DBG_REPLY_LATER is available

Per
<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/debugapi/nf-debugapi-continuedebugevent>,
DBG_REPLY_LATER is "Supported in Windows 10, version 1507 or above, ..."

Since we support versions of Windows older than 10, we need to know
whether DBG_REPLY_LATER is available.  And we need to know this before
starting any inferior.

This adds a function that probes for support (and caches the result),
by trying to call ContinueDebugEvent on pid=0,tid=0 with
DBG_REPLY_LATER, and inspecting the resulting error.
