RFR : 8211106: [windows] Update OS detection code to recognize Windows Server 2019

[Bob Vandette]

It sounds like this is still not the last one but I’m ok with your check since the real GA will be higher and we’re real close.


"On October 6, 2018, distribution of Windows version 1809 (build 17763[18] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2019#cite_note-18>) was paused while Microsoft is investigating an issue with user data being deleted during an in-place upgrade.[19] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2019#cite_note-19> It affected systems where a user profile folder (e.g. Documents, Music or Pictures) had been moved to another location, but data was left in the original location.[20] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2019#cite_note-20>As Windows Server 2019 is based on the Windows version 1809 codebase, it too was removed from distribution.[21] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2019#cite_note-21>””
