Summary: GetLongPathNameW without MAX_PATH limitation

Initial Comment:
PyGetLongPathNameW long unicode pathname support.

Unicode paths that start with \?\ can have up to 32767 
characters. The current implementation of 
PyGetLongPathNameW in win32apimodule.cpp does not 
support long unicode paths, because it uses a 
pathBuffer of size MAX_PATH and it incorrectly 
interprets the return value of GetFullPathNameW as a 
BOOL.
The PyGetLongPathNameW function in the attachment 
has been modified to use an allocated buffer if 
GetLongPathNameW reports that pathBuffer is too small. 
It is based on the win32apimodule.cpp of build 201.1.
