fixes #9955

[Al2Klimov]

@laudrup's Boost.WinTLS seems not to compile as CERT_CHAIN_ENGINE_CONFIG lacks hExclusiveRoot. That member only exists if NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN7 (0x06010000). The only explanation: NTDDI_VERSION <= NTDDI_WS08SP4 (0x06000400), i.e. we kinda unofficially support Windows Server 2008.

@RincewindsHat Didn't you mention customers with a such OS once?

Not sure if this is relevant for you anymore and I cannot really see that this project uses Boost.WinTLS, but I haven't really thought about what requirements there could be for the platform where Boost.WinTLS is actually used so thanks for pointing that out.

As I don't use Windows myself and mainly build and test this with Github actions where older versions of Windows are not supported I'm not sure I can figure out what to do about this, but thanks again anyway.
