system/Error: use std::generic_category() for errno on Windows

It's wrong to use std::system_category() for both GetLastError() and
errno on Windows.  Apparently, everybody uses std::generic_category()
for errno values, which appears to be a safe choice.

Some discussion on this confusing topic can be found here:
