contrib: upnp: Backport a patch to fix building with recent mingw versions

Recent versions of mingw-w64 do provide the strndup function.
Upnp used to hardcode that it has to provide its own strndup on
Windows, even though it also had done a configure check for the
function.

This backports commit 679d5b7775386a8dc4d0fffe792dac3a00e5fe41 from
the upstream project.

+Subject: [PATCH] Don't assume strndup to be missing on Windows
+
+Recent (git) versions of mingw-w64 have started providing the
+strndup function (because it is part of C23).
+
+The configure check for HAVE_STRNDUP does detect this correctly,
+thus just rely on that check instead of hardcoding extra
+conditions on top of it.
+
+This fixes building with such versions of mingw-w64.
