 Bump Win32 version.

 Bump the version of `Win32` to `2.5.0.0` which is a major update and
 includes
 fixes for wrong alignments and wrong 64-bit types. Strangely enough this
 also
 seems to resolve #12713, where `T10858` was failing due to too-low
 allocations.

 The underlying type aliases have changed, so there is a potential
 for user programs not to compile anymore, but the types were incorrect.

 This also requires a bump in the `directory`, `Cabal`, and `process`
 submodules.
