Try to fill out name and email for new key on win

Under Windows we usually cannot rely on KEMailSettings so
we add a fallback that uses GetUserNameEx to query the
name and email through Windows API. This respects Active
Directory setups in most institutions and could in theory
be used to automate key generation.

I would prefer platform-specific code (i.e. the function win_get_user_name) to be put in separate .cpp files (e.g. newcertificatewizard_win.cpp). In fact, there should probably be helpers defaultFullName() and defaultEmailAddress() with platform-specific implementations, so that the using code doesn't need any #ifdef <platform>.
