[PATCH] Remove #include <windows.h> from libcxx/include/support/win32/support.h

[Yaron Keren]

Windows.h #defines NOMINMAX.
In the MingW 4.8.1 headers min and max may be defined in five header files:

stdlib.h, #if 0
ntdef.h, #ifndef NOMINMAX
minmax.h, #ifndef __cplusplus
minwindef.h, #ifndef __cplusplus
classpnp.h, not protected by any define!!

so NOMINMAX applies only to ntdef.h.
Anyhow, to be on the safe side it may be defined project wide.

Visual Studio and curiously reduces the error count too.

It's arguable that this macro should be defined in __config in the Win32
section so it becomes project wide. libcxx goes to some lengths to avoid
other min/max issues in (some) other headers in using __undef_min_max.
