d3d11: always link with d3d11.dll

Steve Lhomme requested to merge robUx4/vlc:direct-d3d11 into master

We only support up to date Windows 7 with some Direct3D11 support. Direct3D 11.1 was added in Windows 7 Platform Update [1], aka KB2670838 [2].

The screen capture and MediaFoundation plugins won't work on Win7/2008 without the platform update as the DLL won't load.

Some D3D11 modules will also fail to load but it's not a problem as D3D11 won't be usable in that case.

The Qt GUI plugin is already requiring the d3d11.dll to be present on Windows 7 even if it may not be used there.
