netdev-windows: Add checking when creating netdev with system type on Windowsbranch-2.9

In the recent Antrea project testing, some port could not be created
on Windows.

When doing debug, our team found there is one case happening when multiple
ports are waiting for be created with correct port number.

Some system type port will be created netdev successfully and it will cause
conflict as in the dpif side it will be internal type. So finally the port
will be created failed and it could not be easily recovered.

With the patch, on Windows the netdev creating will be blocked for system
type when the ovs_tyep got on dpif is internal. More detailed case description
is in the reported issue No.262 with link below.
