f2645c2601 windows: Enable heap terminate-on-corruption (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This PR is currently two separate changes:

  #### Enable heap terminate-on-corruption
  This is default behavior from Windows 8 onwards, however we still support Windows 7, so it should make sense to explicitly enable this. This is also done by projects like tor, chromium etc.

  > Enables the terminate-on-corruption feature. If the heap manager detects an error in any heap used by the process, it calls the Windows Error Reporting service and terminates the process.
  After a process enables this feature, it cannot be disabled.

  More info [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/heapapi/nf-heapapi-heapsetinformation).

  #### Remove call to SetProcessDEPPolicy()

  DEP is always enabled on 64-bit Windows processes, and `SetProcessDEPPolicy()` only works when called from a 32-bit process. I've tested that our current usage always fails ([as expected](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-setprocessdeppolicy#remarks)) with [ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED](16151c441e/mingw-w64-headers/include/error.h (L42)).

  Please don't add a "Needs gitian build" tag here yet.
