Use BCryptGenRandom on Windows 7 or higher
When openssl is compiled with MSVC and _WIN32_WINNT>=0x0601 (Windows 7), BCryptGenRandom is used instead of the legacy CryptoAPI. This change brings the following benefits: - Removes dependency on CryptoAPI (legacy API) respectively advapi32.dll - CryptoAPI Cryptographic Service Providers (rsa full) are not dynamically loaded. - Allows Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps to use openssl (CryptGenRandom is not available for Windows store apps) Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/1142)
