[PATCH] ping: Implemented -n functionality.

[Alex Henrie]

Hello Isira, and thanks for your interest in contributing to Wine! If
I remember correctly, ping.exe was supposed to call IcmpSendEcho, but
no one has written the code yet. Can you rewrite your patch using
IcmpSendEcho instead of calling the external Unix command?

Yes, in general we want to call into Windows APIs where possible,
leaving the Windows -> host translation to the lowest level.
