High DPI Windows Path

Someone (https://youtu.be/TsJMLvlTgk4?t=660) had a monitor with a DPI setting to make the text larger. In that mode Windows would pretend the desktop is smaller than it really is. So in the game the full resolution wouldn't be available in the Options menu.

This patch just fixes that for games. I also spent some time trying to improve the 3D visuals in SOM_MAP because Windows just naively scales up their pixels so it looks likes chunky aliasing. I had some success there, but that's not in the patch. I'd have to work on SOM_PRM too before I can enable that.
