2cf1b0fc7ce97185531eef7f7211ca019d557f95 shiny/driver/windriver: rename the utility window to the Screen window and rewrite it in Go
Because SendMessage on Windows switches to the thread the
target window is associated with to send the message, we can
safely send messages to windows across threads. As such,
methods on a screen.Window can be implemented by sending
messages to that window directly. This laves the so-called
"utility window" only managing the screen.Screen methods.
Therefore, we rename it to the "Screen window" here, as that
is its function now: providing a thread-safe way to call
screen.Screen methods.
The Go rewrite has the side effect of simplifying the error handling
of Windows API calls a bit.
Some common data-related routines have also been added.
The actual work of creating a window is still done by C.
That will be addressed in the next CL.
