qga/vss-win32: Fix ConvertStringToBSTR redefinition with newer MinGW
Newer versions of MinGW-w64 provide ConvertStringToBSTR() in the
_com_util namespace via <comutil.h>. This causes a redefinition
error when building qemu-ga on Windows with these toolchains.
Add a meson check to detect whether ConvertStringToBSTR is already
available, and conditionally compile our fallback implementation
only when the system does not provide one.
