setup: avoid linker warnings on Windows about multiple export specifications

The PyMODINIT_FUNC macro contains __declspec(dllexport), and then the build
process adds an "/EXPORT func" to the command line.  The 64-bit linker flags
this [1].

Everything except zstd.c and bser.c are covered by redefining the macro in
util.h [2].  These modules aren't built with util.h in the #include path, so the
redefining hack would have to be open coded two more times.

After seeing that extra_linker_flags didn't work, I couldn't find anything
authoritative indicating why, though I did see an offhand comment on SO that
CFLAGS is also ignored on Windows.  I also don't fully understand the
interaction between msvccompiler and msvc9compiler- I first subclassed the
latter, but it isn't used when building with VS2008.

I know the camelcase naming isn't the standard, but the HackedMingw32CCompiler
class above it was introduced 5 years ago (and I think the current style was
in place by then), so I assume that there's some reason for it.
