Adjusting GLPK for stdcall

Hello Curtis,

according to
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/en_us/library/zxk0tw93.aspx
__stdcall is only relevant for 32bit and ignored on the amd64/x64
architecture.

/Gz sets the __stdcall convention for all functions
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46t77ak2.aspx

But the code still has to be changed manually where function pointers
are passed that have to be __cdecl. This was the case when calling qsort
under Visual Studio 2008.

Below you find a summary of the changes needed for 4.37. It is a small
number of places.

I think the best way to do it would be to provide a symbol, e.g. CDECL,
everywhere where compiling with /Gz requires __cdecl. This symbol than
can be defined as __cdecl in w32/config.h and as blank in all other
config.h files.

The patch should be sent to Andrew for integration into his upstream code.

@Andrew
LibreOffice supports calling native DLLs on Windows. The MPL license is
compatible with GPL, cf. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
So there is a legitimate reason for compiling with __stdcall convention.

Best regards
