    runtime, syscall: only search for Windows DLLs in the System32 directory · 683448a3

    Make sure that for any DLL that Go uses itself, we only look for the
    DLL in the Windows System32 directory, guarding against DLL preloading
    attacks.
    
    (Unless the Windows version is ancient and LoadLibraryEx is
    unavailable, in which case the user probably has bigger security
    problems anyway.)
    
    This does not change the behavior of syscall.LoadLibrary or NewLazyDLL
    if the DLL name is something unused by Go itself.
    
    This change also intentionally does not add any new API surface. Instead,
    x/sys is updated with a LoadLibraryEx function and LazyDLL.Flags in:
