Since on Windows HANDLEs are not the same as file descriptors,
confusing the two meant that almost all APIs in libuv had to go through
a thin compatibility layer, adding needless complication.
This removes that layer of external indirection and instead
works with the native Win32 API directly.

This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
