Bert Belder 517986c2f4 win: backport bringing back xp/2k3 support
Issue: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/25348
The gyp/project files don't explicitly specify a subsystem version,
which results in the default being used. The default changed from
VS 2010 to VS 2012 and later.

Backport 3122052890, which itself
backports e8d08503c7 from io.js.
Original commit message follows:

  Chrome still runs on Windows XP, so there is no reason that iojs
  couldn't.

  PR: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/512
  (cherry picked from commit e8d08503c7)

To build:

Prerequisites (Unix only):

* GCC 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)

tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz

Or system-wide with:

cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
                     /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz

To run the tests:

Unix/Macintosh:
