Subject: [PATCH] system_win32: replace manual init code with
 `curlx_now_init()` call

The code actual init code remains identical after this patch. To make it
clearer where this initialization is called from, and to dedupe code.

Follow-up to b17ef873ae2151263667f4b6fb6abfe337e687dc #18009

Closes #20852
