Johannes Schindelin db2f7c48cb Win32: simplify loading of DLL functions
Dynamic loading of DLL functions is duplicated in several places in Git
for Windows' source code.

This patch adds a pair of macros to simplify the process: the
DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(<dll>, <return-type>, <function-name>,
...<function-parameter-types>...) macro to be used at the beginning of a
code block, and the INIT_PROC_ADDR(<function-name>) macro to call before
using the declared function. The return value of the INIT_PROC_ADDR()
call has to be checked; If it is NULL, the function was not found in the
specified DLL.

Example:

        DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(kernel32.dll, BOOL, CreateHardLinkW,
                          LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES);

        if (!INIT_PROC_ADDR(CreateHardLinkW))
                return error("Could not find CreateHardLinkW() function";

	if (!CreateHardLinkW(source, target, NULL))
		return error("could not create hardlink from %S to %S",
			     source, target);
	return 0;
