Fixup errno definitions for Windows
Redefine all winsock based Exxxx error constants used in the core: For VS2010 we don't want to use the errno.h values, and for older compiler versions we don't have a definition anyways. Also remove the warnings about VS2010 from README.win32, as they should all be resolved now.

Some test failures may occur if you use a command shell other than the
native "cmd.exe", or if you are building from a path that contains
spaces. So don't do that.
