win7 Freecell works with wmvcore.dll renamed

The Wine wmvcore.dll located in system32 prevents Windows Vista/7 card games
from working. Simply renaming this dll allows these games to run using a clean
Wine 9.19 prefix. This workaround has also been tested to work on Wine 9.1. The
card games can be copied from Windows Vista, Windows 7 (with the CardGames.dll)
or using https://win7games.com/#games to install them to the prefix. If using
the Winaero installer, you can simply copy the game folder and use it directly,
instead of installing every time.

I'm not sure why this dll prevents the games from opening, but its omission
doesn't seem to affect any of the other apps I use. Additionally, when using
winetricks to install wmp11 (from a forum hint about getting the games to
work), this dll is removed from the system32 folder during the install process.
Apparently, wmp11 is not actually needed and simply worked by removing the one
dll that prevented the games from opening correctly.
