If we only need to support versions of Windows that Microsoft is supporting that would be Windows 10 2016 (1607) in which case there's no need to mess with all the DLL and function pointer retrieval in this code. You can just issue direct calls to SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext and friends.

If we removed that path, then for Windows 10 < 1607, we wouldn't be able to skip coordinate mapping for the usual (99.9%) case when the Java process is running with per-monitor DPI awareness. This wouldn't cause JavaFX to stop working, we'd just be back at the status quo where we don't account for the visible window frame.

We still need to dynamically load the function though, as it definitely won't be available on Win10 < 1607.
