port win32.py to using the Python ctypes library

The pywin32 package is no longer needed.

ctypes is now required for running Mercurial on Windows.

ctypes is included in Python since version 2.5. For Python 2.4, ctypes is
available as an extra installer package for Windows.

Moved spawndetached() from windows.py to win32.py and fixed it, using
ctypes as well. spawndetached was defunct with Python 2.6.6 because Python
removed their undocumented subprocess.CreateProcess. This fixes
'hg serve -d' on Windows.
