    kernel32: Update version to Win 10.

    This fixes the game Evil Genius 2 complaining about unsupported OS.

`winetricks wmp9` no longer installs; instead an error dialog saying that <=
WINXP is required:
0124:trace:text:DrawTextExW L"This version of Windows Media Player can be
installed only on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows .NET Server.", -1, [(0,0)-(237,52)]
00000850

winetricks is setting the windows version of the wineprefix to winxp before
installing, but it seems that the installer is checking the kernel32 version
strings, and failing to install as a result.

Still present in wine-7.5-175-g0de8d01b09b, reverting the patch allows the
installer to proceed.

I'm not sure what we can do here. Currently the version string is hardcoded
regardless of what version of windows we're reporting. I'd guess either we need
to allow overriding the string/shipping different resource files for different
reported windows versions, or call this a WONTFIX?
