Feature request: expose IID COM constant and more in windows-sys

[poliorcetics]

Motivation

I'm working to update the sysinfo to windows-sys instead of winapi and I'm missing some things:

Missing elements

• IID (specifically for the windows::Win32::System::Wmi::IWbemLocator) is not in windows-sys but is in windows
• ULARGE_INTEGER

Drawbacks

No response

Rationale and alternatives

No response

Additional context

I remember something about the COM APIs not being in windows-sys voluntarily ?

[poliorcetics]

I'm going to update the top comment with missing elements as I find them

So necessarily using windows, I don't think that'll go well for compile times sadly (I understand you can't do much about this)

@GuillaumeGomez, before I go any further, would you accept an MR going from winapi to windows ?

[GuillaumeGomez]

If it provides the same functionalities with no downgrade in performance or compilation time, all good for me.

[kennykerr]

Do give it a try. I am regularly findings ways to improve windows crate build time. Most recently #2360.

Thanks to you both, will do!
