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)
