RFR: 8244487: One Windows 10 SDK file missing from FX build

While auditing the list of redistributed Microsoft files in the JDK versus FX, I discovered one file that the JDK ships
that FX does not:

api-ms-win-core-console-l1-2-0.dll

I checked the Redist directory in the Windows 10 SDK and this is the only one we are missing.

Root cause: the current version of the Windows 10 SDK has 41 redistributable `api-ms-win-*` files. There were 40 when
we first upgraded to VS 2017 and Windows 10 SDK three years ago. We didn't reexamine the list when upgrading to a later
minor version of VS 2017 and the Windows 10 SDK.

We haven't yet seen any problems as a result, but since we are getting ready to upgrade to VS 2019 see
[JDK-8242508](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8242508) -- we should correct this so it doesn't cause problems
in the future.
