The issue here is that our WinMessages.h header will cause build bustage if it is included in the expanded include tree before Windows headers like Winuser.h or windows.h. Specifically, to support old Windows SDKs it checks if certain windows defines are defined and if not it defines them. If a more recent Windows header is then included after WinMessages.h we get a compile time error because the Windows header defines the defines unconditionally.

Having include order matter is bad since build errors can bite people unexpectedly and in ways that can waste non-trivial amounts of their time.

Since we now require VS 2015 to build, I believe all these defines in WinMessages.h are no longer necessary. We should just remove them and eliminate this issue.

Bug 1352368 - Remove some old Windows defines from WinMessages.h

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/125480/#review128020

::: commit-message-7cb42:1
(Diff revision 1)
> +Bug 1352368 - Remove old Windows defines from WinMessages.h

I think this should be "Remove some old Windows defines from WinMessage.h" since it looks like we're leaving other ones.

::: commit-message-7cb42:2
(Diff revision 1)
> +Bug 1352368 - Remove old Windows defines from WinMessages.h
> +We require Visual Studio 2015 to build, so we no longer need these defines in WinMessages.h

Make this "These defines cause include ordering issues that can result in build errors if WinMessages.h is included before certain Windows headers. To solve this issue this commit simply removes those defines since nowadays we require Visua Studio 2015 to build and no longer need them."

And blank line between the summary line and the extended comment, plesae.
