easy: fix win32 init to work without CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32

- Change the behavior of win32_init so that the required initialization
  procedures are not affected by CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 flag.

libcurl via curl_global_init supports initializing for win32 with an
optional flag CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32, which if omitted was meant to stop
Winsock initialization. It did so internally by skipping win32_init()
when that flag was set. Since then win32_init() has been expanded to
include required initialization routines that are separate from
Winsock and therefore must be called in all cases. This commit fixes
it so that CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 only controls the optional win32
initialization (which is Winsock initialization, according to our doc).

The only users affected by this change are those that don't pass
CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 to curl_global_init. For them this commit removes the
risk of a potential crash.
