We can't do so unconditionally in c.h or such, because that'd again
cause conflicts with __declspec(restrict) on MSVC versions that don't
support restrict, because it'd require restrict to be defined empty.

But it's easy to do so in configure, and then have a separate definition
in pg_config.h.win32. Done so in the attached commit. It's slightly ugly
to have two definitions of restrict in pg_config.h.in, but whatever.
