Adds workaround for socket creation on older Windows variants

Since the WSA_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_INHERIT is only supported on Windows 7 SP1 and above the socket creation fails on older Windows Systems.
     
Let's try to create a socket the old way in this case.

WSA_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_INHERIT:
This flag is supported on Windows 7 with SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, and later
