MSVC: Fix an "incompatible pointer types" compiler warning
In particular, the following warning is issued while compiling
compat/msvc.c:
...mingw.c(223) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible \
types - from '_stati64 *' to '_stat64 *'
which relates to a call of _fstati64() in the mingw_fstat()
function definition.
This is caused by various layers of macro magic and attempts to
avoid macro redefinition compiler warnings. For example, the call
to _fstati64() mentioned above is actually a call to _fstat64(),
and expects a pointer to a struct _stat64 rather than the struct
_stati64 which is passed to mingw_fstat().
The definition of struct _stati64 given in compat/msvc.h had the
same "shape" as the definition of struct _stat64, so the call to
_fstat64() does not actually cause any runtime errors, but the
structure types are indeed incompatible.
In order to avoid the compiler warning, we add declarations for the
mingw_lstat() and mingw_fstat() functions and supporting macros to
msvc.h, suppressing the corresponding declarations in mingw.h, so
that we can use the appropriate structure type (and function) names
from the msvc headers.
