The UWP platform port was never ported to the Godot 4.0+ API, and it's now accumulating bitrot as it doesn't compile, and thus we no longer propagate platform changes in it. So we finally remove to acknowledge this state. There's still some interest in reviving the UWP port eventually, especially as support for Direct3D 12 will soon be merged, but when that happens it will be easiest to redo it from scratch.

We had a slightly older version of it for UWP, as the wincrypt API isn't allowed there. We removed this with UWP in godotengine#81416, but since this was enabled inconditionally before, this actually changed behavior for Windows compared to Godot 4.1 and earlier. This change is also needed to properly supported Windows Store.

This PR removes all references to UWP in the codebase (aside from thirdparty code), so if the UWP platform does get brought back from the dead at some point, I would suggest doing a selective reverse application of this patch to restore the various
UWP_ENABLEDin drivers, Windows code, modules and documentation.
