RFR: 8252368 : Undo JDK-8245002: Windows GDI functions don't support NUMA interleaving

Hi all,

Please review this patch to re-enable NUMA interleaving on Windows.

https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8252368/webrev.01/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8252368

In JDK 15 we put in code that turns off NUMA interleaving if it is 
detected that Windows GDI functions don't work with split memory 
reservations. Later in JDK 16, and JDK 15.0.1, the code that uses GDI 
was rewritten to have a fallback mechanism for these kinds of problems 
(JDK-8240654). Because of that we don't need the workaround to turn off 
NUMA interleaving anymore.

We also pushed a similar workaround patch to turn off large pages 
(JDK-8245000). That is dealt with in a separate RFR (JDK-8252367). This 
patch builds upon the changes in JDK-8252367.

I tested locally that the reproducer in JDK-8245000 doesn't reproduce 
with the proposed patch. I also tested that also reverting the patch in 
JDK-8240654 causes reproducer to reproduce again.

Thanks,
StefanK
