gen-def.py: pass headers as arguments so that msys2 can convert posix paths
When one is not using the msys2 python, the header files that are passed in as environment
variable cannot be found.

This is because msys2 shell and make use POSIX paths (e.g. /c/Users/clupo/...)
whereas non-msys2 python.exe uses native Windows paths (e.g. C:\Users\clupo\...).
Msys2 will automatically convert command line arguments (but not environment variables) from
POSIX to Windows paths when calling a native win32 executable, so we pass the header paths
as arguments instead of environment variables.
This way the gen-def.py script can support both mingw python running in an MSYS2 shell, and
native win32 python.
