WinRT: removed hack to flush out pending window-size-change events on…

… app startup. The hack appeared to work in the Windows Simulator, but not on real hardware, and notably not on a Surface RT. Room may exist for a different, and more thorough hack.

-    //
-    // 1. An app, set to start up as a Landscape-only app (via a
-    //    Package.appxmanifest file), starts up on a device that is in Portrait
-    //    mode.
-    // 2. Control of the app reaches this function (WINRT_VideoInit).
-    // 3. The 'Size' property of the app's CoreWindow (a WinRT-defined object)
-    //    is not sized as if it were running on a device in landscape mode, but
-    //    rather, it's sized in portrait mode.  To note, this property will
-    //    normally changes as a device rotates, however it hasn't changed just yet.
-    // 4. WINRT_VideoInit calls WINRT_InitModes, which uses the app's
-    //    CoreWindow to register a display mode, whose width and height are
-    //    still oriented in portrait.
-    // 5. Once WINRT_VideoInit returns, and once control leaves SDL (and back
-    //    into its calling app), SDL_GetDisplayMode is called, which returns the
-    //    portrait-oriented display mode.  (Remember, this is supposed to be a
-    //    landscape-only app.)
-    // 6. The portrait-oriented display mode is used to initialize other
-    //    things.  The CoreWindow's size eventually changes (and window-resize
-    //    events are sent out accordingly), but damage has already been done,
-    //    as a variety of things were set up using the portrait-oriented
-    //    display mode (rather than a landscape-oriented display mode).
-    //
-    // By pumping events once, WinRT will make sure that the app's
-    // CoreWindow will get its size updated, and that a correctly-oriented
-    // display mode gets registered.
-    //
-    // Please note that if SDL_SetHint is used to set the app's orientation
-    // (in conjunction with SDL_HINT_ORIENTATION), then this technique will
-    // not work.  The size of the app's CoreWindow will still be off.  This
-    // technique is only known to fix cases where an app's orientation is set
-    // via its app-settings file, Package.appxmanifest.
