 Correct Windows libdir assumptions.

 GHC and ghc-pkg make some pretty hard assumptions about where they're
 running on Windows. They assume that they are always running from
 `foo/bin/ghc.exe` and that to find the `lib` folder they can drop
 `bin/ghc.exe` from the base path and append `lib`.

 This is already false for the testsuite, which when testing thenbindist
  has one test which puts the binaries in `inplace/test   spaces`.

 For some reason before this was either being skipped or mysteriously
 passing.
 But as of `2017.02.11` our luck ran out.

 the testsuite triggers a failure such as those in #13310

 Let's soften the assumption and just check that `../lib` exists instead.
