Subject: [PATCH] [rcore][win32] stop lying to the OS about when our window is
 updated

Instead of calling BeginPaint/EndPaint in WM_PAINT which signals to the
OS that our window content is updated, now when we encounter the WM_PAINT
message instead we return back to the raylib application which will
trigger it to render a new frame. We've replaced the call to BeginPaint
and EndPaint with a call to ValidateRect in SwapBuffers, which, means
we're now correctly telling the OS when our window content is actually
up-to-date.

Note that this doesn't fix the window content not being updated during
a window resize/move beacuse thos have their own message loop which
doesn't return early when it's time to paint.
