Use a more robust way to get dco-win version

The current way doesn't work if the device is already in use. Starting from 1.3.0, dco-win creates a non-exclusive control device \\.\ovpn-dco-ver which can be opened by multiple apps and supports a single IOCTL to get a version number. OpenVPN/ovpn-dco-win#76 This will be expecially handy later when checking which features driver supports.
