RFR : 8217093: Support extended-length paths in parse_manifest.c on windows

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi Alan , do you think it is good to start  a UNIX   parse_manifest_md.c too with just a one-liner in it ?
Or do you prefer  only having the windows - file with the Windows coding   and  keeping the UNIX one-liner    for   open_jarfile   in   parse_manifest.c ?

Best regards, Matthias
