[Bug 52250] windows.h WINE_NOWINSOCK check has been removed

--- Comment #10 from Alexandre Julliard <julliard at winehq.org> ---
Linking to WS_* functions is not supported, the WS_ prefix is only for when you
need the definitions (e.g. to map them to the Unix ones and call the Unix
functions). The function prototypes could probably be simply disabled when
using WS_.

I'd say the goals are, in priority order:

1. Properly support winsock.h and ws2_32 in MSVCRT mode.

2. Allow using winsock.h with WS_ prefix in Wine's Unix libs to get the winsock
definitions.

3. Not get in the way for Winelib apps that don't need sockets, or that will
simply use Unix sockets.

4. Allow using winsock.h and ws2_32 in Winelib apps if building them against
Unix sockets is hard for some reason. It's OK if you have to jump through some
hoops to enable that case.
