patch to correct makefile.win

In principle this is the same issue as bug 59698 but applies to APR-util (1.5.4 / also checked to still be an issue in APR-util 1.5.x branch):

running nmake -f Makefile.win (OS: Win10 64-bit, VS 2015 CE Update 2) raises the following error:
"The system cannot find the path specified."

and incorrectly sets the ARCH to Win32 Release instead of x64 Release.

Attached patch resolves the problem by correcting the case of SystemRoot in Makefile.win.

There's a second part of the issue. test/Makefile.win suffers the same bug. However, other than resulting in the error and creating the test files in the wrong/unintended directory, that second part doesn't cause any other issue.

I've attached a second patch file (patch to correct test/makefile.win) which fixes that second part.

Have to correct myself. It will cause a problem, if only the first patch is applied and then the test-makefile is invoked directly, since then the OUTDIR would point to the incorrect lib-folder and building the test applications would fail.
