0be03c7 Qt: Use _putenv_s instead of setenv on Windows builds (Brian McMichael)

Pull request description:

Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10836

Error message I would get on `make`:
```

`setenv` function is not available from the Microsoft runtime library. Need to use `_putenv_s` instead.

This solution tells the compiler to use `_putenv_s` on `WIN32` compilation (Note: this also works on 64-bit Windows instances.) and `setenv` everywhere else.

I've tested builds on Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu 16.04 with this code.

Backport of Core PR10899
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10899/files

This backport was attempted once, and issues were identified with it (see D1368 for details).
However, given our change in strategy to backport as much as possible and not take code ownership
where it isn't necessary, we should re-evaluate this diff.

Test Plan
make check
# I don't have a Windows dev machine to test this on.

This is fixing something which is not broken, maybe due to different MinGw versions.
Furthermore I need to investigate, because the qt tests are failing on Windows with the minimal platform. You have to specify test_bitcoin-qt.exe -platform windows to make them green.
This will eventually end up being removed.

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Jun 6 2019, 10:43

NVM the "crash" is documented in src/st/test/wallettests.cpp:

// This also requires overriding the default minimal Qt platform:
//
//     src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt -platform xcb      # Linux
//     src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt -platform windows  # Windows
//     src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt -platform cocoa    # macOS

I still think this backport is not necessary, as it provides no value and makes the code worst.

Abandoning this for now since the value is questionable.
