Since Uniscribe is to be removed anyway, no harm will ever come of
rendering it optional, though if you consider this aspect of the patch
too dangerous for the release, it can wait till Emacs 31, as the dll
does exist on the machine that is meant to receive Emacs 30.

Yes, the link loader won't load emacs.exe for want of these symbols,
which is the criterion I applied in compiling these lists.

It's a little galling to see something declared "officially unsupported"
within 24 hours of my writing the code to restore support for it...
