Bug 1232 - NEWT Translucent Decorated Windows Not Working On Windows >= 8 (Lack of Aero / Blur )

- Wrap GDI::DwmIsCompositionEnabled() in GDIUtil,
  so it always returns true if Windows >= 8 (even if not manifested)

- Nothing we seem to be able to do about the lack of Aero,
  i.e. blur effect of decorated windows

- Undecorated windows work well though ..
