Remove DDK support files. (#333)
Deleted DDK build scripts, support files and documentation for it, as it wasn't working of-the-box with recent tool-sets from MS anyway. Still keeping `HIDAPI_USE_DDK` macro in the code, as it still _can_ be used if the build configuration is setup properly. Resolves: #49
