[win32] Choose best Image handle drawing with GC

[akoch-yatta]

This commit adapts the drawImage method in GC in the windows implementation for copying and (probably) scaling an area from a source image into the GC target. With the Image supporting multiple handles now, the handle from the source image is no longer always chosen by the zoom context of the GC but sometimes from the target size, e.g. if an image should be drawn with a scale of 2 on a 100% monitor, it might provide better results to use an image handle fitting for 200%.

How to test

If you execute the Snippet below with and without the PR you should see something like below: left with this PR and right without this PR. Top row is simulating a GC on 100%, bottom row on 200% zoom. Scale factors for each of each of the three images are 1, 1.5 and 2, so100%, 150% and 200% on top and 200%, 300% and 400% in the bottom. Most images will remain as they were before, but you see a difference in the top row, image to the right. This PR proposes a simple first approach to improve drawing scaled variants of an Image with a GC. Testing another approach in #2134 had some disadvantages, that led us to the decision, to start with a rather simple approach and extend on that.
