runtime: revert "do not call timeBeginPeriod on windows"

This reverts commit ab4c9298b8.

Sysmon critically depends on system timer resolution for retaking
of Ps blocked in system calls. See #14790 for an example
of a program where execution time goes from 2ms to 30ms if
timeBeginPeriod(1) is not used.

We can remove timeBeginPeriod(1) when we support UMS (#7876).

Update #14790
