Link statically to GrowableFunctionTable

[huoyaoyuan]

RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable and related APIs were introduced in Windows 8.

The functions are present in the WindowsAPI allow list of NativeAOT, so I think linking ntdll is acceptible here.

Does it work under UWP?

Pull request overview

This PR changes CoreCLR’s Windows x64 unwind-info publishing to call the Win8+ growable function table APIs (RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable, RtlGrowFunctionTable, RtlDeleteGrowableFunctionTable) directly, and adds ntdll.lib to the Windows link set to resolve those symbols at link/load time.

Changes:

• Replaces runtime GetProcAddress-based discovery of growable function table APIs with direct calls to Rtl*GrowableFunctionTable.
• Removes UnwindInfoTable::Initialize() and its startup invocation.
• Links coreclr against ntdll.lib on Windows builds.

Does it work under UWP?

The original UWP with restricted APIs is not a thing we worry about anymore for CoreCLR. We use a lot of APIs that are marked as "desktop apps only".

• Use “Windows 8” instead of “Win8” for readability/consistency (also matches the prior review request).

// On Windows x64, publish OS UnwindInfo (accessed from RUNTIME_FUNCTION
// structures) to support the ability to unwind the stack. In Win8 and above
// new APIs were defined that allow incremental publishing via a table.
