win32: events stop processing when menubar is active #310

Description

@tronical

When a menu from the menubar is visible/open on Windows, the main event loops stops processing. To reproduce, apply the following patch to the winit.rs example:

diff --git a/examples/winit.rs b/examples/winit.rs

Observe how every 16 ms the redraw message is printed, but that stops when a menu from the menubar is opened.
