patch 9.2.0611: MS-Windows: evim.exe not working with VIMDLL

patch 9.2.0611: MS-Windows: evim.exe not working with VIMDLL

Problem: When gvim.exe is built with VIMDLL=yes, and gvim.exe is copied
to evim.exe, evim.exe didn't start in the easy mode.
Solution: Check the executable file type in addition to its filename
(Ken Takata).
