Hack to get paint to start up

As suspected, the problem here is that the mfc can't load the MUI resources.
Now I don't know how exactly MUI works, so I have to investigate that first.

In short, MFC tries to load a menu by calling LoadMenuW, and bails out when it
doesn't work. All other strings are affected too, but that simply treats them
as empty-strings.

When forcing LoadMenuW to search in mspaint.exe.mui (and one has the dll), it
works - at least it starts up. Pretty unusable since all other strings are
missing too, but that's the same issue after all.

Attaching a small hack to work around the issue - needs mspaint.exe.mui in the
same folder as mspaint.exe. Also included an undocumented dll function, since
that is called regularly by paint - you'll need that when you want to use it
longer than one second or so.

TL;DR:
We need a MUI implementation for paint to work.
