[wue] improve Windows version reporting from ISO/.wim 
* Pick the version and build number directly from the install[.wim|.esd] XML index.
  This forces us to mount the ISO during scan, but it's the only way to get an accurate Build number...
* Also drop linking to version.dll (along with the whole version.dll delay-loading shenanigans).
