Bug #12371: Windows Nano Server WIN32OLE compatibility
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12371#change-62723

* Author: Alessandro Pilotti
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Masaki Suketa
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The `OleInitialize()` call used in WIN32OLE is not supported on Nano Server due to the fact that the STA COM model is not available:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/32674b167bddc0d737c38f84722986b0f228b44b/ext/win32ole/win32ole.c#L820

As an alternative, `CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)` can be called when running on Nano Server, thus ensuring both compatibility with the preexisting behaviour and support for Nano Server.
