Rename the function _modbus_tcp_init to _modbus_tcp_init_win32 and
warp the call with #ifdef.

Before using any functions of the Win32 Socket API we first have to
initialise it by calling WSAStartup(). Fixes non-working tests on native
Win32.

Some small modifications were neccessary to make libmodbus build using
a MinGW (cross-)compiler. Libtool is now configured to build DLL files
on Win32. The wsock32 library has been added to the list of libraries
to link against.

Added support for native Win32 based on
https://code.launchpad.net/~thepyper/libmodbus/win32-native
This mainly affects the RTU implementation as the TCP/IP socket
interface is the same thanks to the winsocks library. The interface
for using the serial port is completely different on Win32 and is now
implemented accordingly.

Introduced the select() operation for backends as the WAIT_DATA macro
approach is not very extensible and causes trouble when adding platform-
specific codepaths.

On Win32 the second argument to recv() and send() is not a void pointer
but a char pointer, therefore cast the buffer from uint8_t to char.

There are several header files that are already included in modbus.h
and thus do not have to be included in the C files.

The send() and recv() functions of the backends might require more
information than just a file descriptor, therefore pass the complete
modbus_t structure.

In modbus_flush() we should return the return value of the backend's
flush() function.

Renamed error_print() to _error_print() in order to indicate it's a
private method and make it globally accessible so functions in
modbus-rtu.c and modbus-tcp.c can make use of it as well.

All declarations in modbus-rtu.h and modbus-tcp.h should be inside
MODBUS_BEGIN_DECLS and MODBUS_END_DECLS in order to make that functions
properly accessible in C++ files.

All private functions and constants are now prefixed by _.
The modbus protocol uses entry points to call specific functions.

If <sys/time.h> is not included before "modbus.h" as struct timeval
is not declared. This behavior was observed while building libmodbus
for QNX.

- partial revert of 93ce13656103cbb459ebd630d055a008dbb059f3
- it was a bit confusing to always edit modbus.h.in
- the header inclusion still unchanged (<modbus.h>)

Idea suggested by Hannu Vuolasaho

- return only useful data client side
- available in TCP when a gateway to RTU is used
- need to add isolated handling of indication/confirmation messages

- more coherent
- namespace
- opaque and smaller context
- usual wording
