Switch from sycall to windows (#295)

Where ever possible, use `golang.org/x/sys/windows` instead of `syscall`
(which has been deprecated since go1.11).

Using `windows.LocalFree` requires using `unsafe.Pointer`, which ensures
that the Go garbage collector does not try to free memory pre-maturely
if it was previously declared as a pointer.

Since `syscall.Handle` is part of API for `vhd` package, it was left
unchanged.

For security descriptor functions, switch to using
`windows.SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` to avoid unnecessary byte manipulation and
panics due to missing input validation and error checking.
