gh-102255: Improve build support for Windows API partitions (GH-102256)
Add `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`, `MS_WINDOWS_APPS`, `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` and `MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` preprocessor definitions to allow switching off functionality missing from particular API partitions ("partitions" are used in Windows to identify overlapping subsets of APIs).
CPython only officially supports `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP` and `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` (APPS is included by normal desktop builds, but APPS without DESKTOP is not covered). Other configurations are a convenience for people building their own runtimes.
`MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` is for the Xbox subset of the Windows API, which is also available on client OS, but is restricted compared to `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`. These restrictions may change over time, as they relate to the build headers rather than the OS support, and so we assume that Xbox builds will use the latest available version of the GDK.

bpo-45582: Port getpath[p].c to Python (GH-29041)
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.

This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.

bpo-45188: Windows now regenerates frozen modules at the start of build instead of late (GH-28322)
This will enable us to drop the frozen module header files from the repository.

It does currently cause many source files to be built twice, which just takes more time. For whoever comes to fix this in the future, the files shared between freeze_module and pythoncore should be put into a static library that is consumed by both.
