Removes the --skip-verstamp flag by making it obsolete by resolving the bootstraping (aka chicken & egg) problem.
This is done by using a pure python implementation rather than relying on pywin32 itself. The implementation was originally pulled from https://github.com/enthought/pywin32-ctypes/blob/main/win32ctypes/win32api.py , then adapted, simplified and typed.

I also fixed the bulkstamp script enough that it can at least run (but I haven't yet properly tested it)
I considered moving win32/Lib/win32verstamp.py to win32/scripts/VersionStamp/verstamp.py, but someone downstream might be using win32verstamp to stamp their own executables, so I left it there. (maybe it should be moved, with a deprecated alias left in win32/Lib)

Closes #2306, fixes #2386 and addresses one of the points in #2208 by removing the flag entirely.


I left in the make_all.bat / build_all.bat scripts for now. But the release process can now be simplified to just downloading the artefacts on the CI instead of rebuilding everything locally.
