Make file-accessible-directory-p reliable on MS-Windows

* src/w32.c (w32_accessible_directory_p): New function.
* src/w32.h (w32_accessible_directory_p): Add prototype.
* src/fileio.c (file_accessible_directory_p) [WINDOWSNT]: Call
w32_accessible_directory_p to test a directory for accessibility
by the current user.  (Bug#21346)
(Ffile_accessible_directory_p): Remove the w32 specific caveat
from the doc string.
