Feature request: Match types of FOREGROUND_BLUE etc. with SetConsoleTextAttributes

[sunfishcode]

Motivation

SetConsoleTextAttribute' wattributes argument is declared with type u16.

The character attributes that one passes to it, such as FOREGROUND_BLUE, are declared with type u32.

It would be convenient if these constants were declared with type u32 to obviate the need for casting.

Drawbacks

No response

Rationale and alternatives

No response

Additional context

In the winapi crate, FOREGROUND_BLUE is declared with type WORD aka u16.

I think you meant SetConsoleTextAttribute. Transferring to the metadata repo for resolution.
