install-windows.sgml has one extra spot mentioning Windows 7 and
Server 2008 that can be simplified on top of that.

Actually, this can go with the bump of MIN_WINNT as it uses one of the
IsWindows*OrGreater() macros as a runtime check. And there are two
more places in pg_ctl.c that can be similarly cleaned up.

It is possible that I have missed some spots, of course.
