[Issue 16658] Win32API: default IE ver. set to 4.0 is too old

As it only supports up to WinNT 4.0, it's not available on WinXP or even Win2k. This leads to a mismatch with the default `_WIN32_WINNT = 0x500` (WinXP) value. Make the default IE version set to 6.0 could make more APIs available at default. Also, DMD now supports only `Windows 7 or later, 32 or 64 bit` and Windows 7 has reached End Of Life on 14 January 2020, it could reasonably set default value to: `_WIN32_WINNT = 0x601` and `_WIN32_IE = 0x800`.

--- Comment #1 from j...@red.email.ne.jp ---
Forgot to mention:
The value cooperating with this is defined that
_WIN32_WINNT = 0x501 ( means WinXP )
So I suppose that _WIN32_IE should be changed as follows.
version (IE10) {
} else version (IE9) {
} else version (IE8) {
... snipped ...
} else static if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x501) { // ADD
enum uint _WIN32_IE = 0x600; // ADD
} else static if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x410) {
enum uint _WIN32_IE = 0x400; // this is used now
} else {
