[PATCH v2] Fix WOW64 process system DLL paths

GetModuleFileNameEx returns for some DLLs of WOW64 processes
the path inside the 64bit system directory instead of the 32bit
syswow64 directory.

Problem happens e.g. with dbghelp.dll:

(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x415a00: file fiber.cpp, line 430.
Starting program: C:\src\tests\fiber.exe
warning: `C:\Windows\system32\dbghelp.dll': Shared library architecture i386:x86-64 is not compatible with target architecture i386.

Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at fiber.cpp:430
430     {
(gdb) info sharedlibrary
>From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
0x77070000  0x771d4d20  Yes (*)     C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
0x74dc0000  0x74ebad9c  Yes (*)     C:\Windows\syswow64\kernel32.dll
0x75341000  0x75386a18  Yes (*)     C:\Windows\syswow64\KernelBase.dll
0x6f6a1000  0x6f7c48fc  Yes (*)     C:\Windows\system32\dbghelp.dll
0x74d01000  0x74dab2c4  Yes (*)     C:\Windows\syswow64\msvcrt.dll
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.

This detects this situation and converts the DLL path to the
syswow64 equivalent.

	* windows-nat.c (windows_add_all_dlls): Fix system dll paths.
---
v2:
- added error check with gdb_assert's
- use std::string for newly assembled dll path
