runtime(mswin): revert back the check for clipboard_working support

Commit d9ebd46bd090c598adc82e6 changed the condition to
check if the clipboard is available from:
```
has('clipboard')
```
to
```
has('clipboard_working')
```
Assuming that is the more accurate test because even when clipboard
support is enabled at compile time it may not be actually working (e.g.
if no X11 environment is available, or when working on a remote server).

However it seems that condition does not evaluate to true, when the GUI
has not been started up yet (and there was no X11 Connection yet possible).

So let's just revert back the check to `has('clipboard')`, since that
has been proven to be working well enough.

[…]

The mswin.vim script currently defines Ctrl-V and Shift-Insert in
Command-line mode but not Insert mode if has("clipboard") is found
true, but in Insert but not Command-line if it is found false. Is that
normal ?

Shouldnt cmap and inoremap be replaced by either map! or noremap! at
lines 43-44 and 60-61 of mswin.vim ?

Best regards,
Tony.
