    Use va_copy() in pure-windows version of tor_asprintf().
    
    It's not okay to use the same varargs list twice, and apparently
    some windows build environments produce code here that would leave
    tor_asprintf() broken. Fix for bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha
    when tor_asprintf() was introduced.
