 Temporarily lower unfolding threshold on Windows

 This is a very temporary, very unsatisfactory hack to fix #5987
 (for now.)

 The included comments essentially say it all: we lower the unfolding
 threshold to minimize some amount of exported symbols from the GHC
 stage2 DLL. I unfortunately had to lower it quite substantially for the
 dynamic stage2 build to pass.

 As of this writing, the DLL split between ghc.dll and ghc-0.dll is
 something like 26,000 vs 63,000 exported symbols, respectively. So we're
 still quite in danger of tripping it, but I think we will be OK at this
 exact moment.
