Use Windows XP Mode images for Windows XP DLLs and fonts?

[amtlib-dot-dll]

#632 #678 #960 As the official download link for Windows XP SP3 is missing, an unofficial mirror is used, leading to a slower download speed.

Besides, the Windows XP SP3 archive does not contain every possible DLLs, while the Windows XP Mode image is just a full operating system with everything, which means less files to be downloaded. Additionally, the size to be download https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/2/C/72C7BAB7-2F32-4530-878A-292C20E1845A/WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe is just 469.8 MiB, just slightly larger than 316.4MiB of the Windows XP SP3 installer. Fonts are also shipped, so there is no need to download or override these fonts.

Windows XP Mode is within the lifecycle of Windows 7, so there is no worry to change the link in at least 2 years.

It is also provided in several languages de-DE en-US ar-SA zh-HK zh-CN zh-TW ko-KR da-DK es-ES fi-FI fr-FR el-GR he-IL hu-HU it-IT ja-JP nl-NL nb-NO pl-PL pt-BR pt-PT ru-RU sv-SE cs-CZ tr-TR, so #11 can be fixed.
