Fall back to old impl for remove_dir_all

The recursive directory removal implementation falls back to the old one
if the necessary APIs are not available (`NtCreateFile`,
`GetFileInformationByHandleEx`, `SetFileInformationByHandle`). The APIs
are available on Vista/Server 2008.

See notes on `fileextd.lib` above to extend the support to Windows
XP/Server 2003. **This might cause security issues**, see
rust-lang#93112
