‼️ Libevent

There is currently a runtime issue using libevent 2.1 (Cygwin build) on old Windows versions : _WIN32_WINNT <= 0X601

*** fatal error - couldn't dynamically determine load address for 'QueryUnbiasedInterruptTime' (handle 0x7FEFD430000), Win32 error 127
see https://gitter.im/msys2/msys2?at=5ce7e6578f019114aeab45c0

So, I provide memcached with both libevent versions:

• 2.0.22 <= Windows 7
• 2.1.12 > Windows 7

Don't hesitate to test both of them on your system and give me some feedback because I didn't find a lot of topics on it!
