configure: msvc: Set the target windows version to XP if no target is set

MSVC 2010 (or more precisely, Windows SDK 7.0 which comes with MSVC
2010) sets _WIN32_WINNT to the constant for Windows 7 if nothing is
set. This could lead to the libav configure script detecting and
using functions only present in Windows 7 or newer, which in most
cases isn't desired. If the caller explicitly wants this, the caller
can add the _WIN32_WINNT define via --extra-cflags, setting the desired
version.
