[2.7] bpo-33542: Ignore DUID in uuid.get_node on Windows. (GH-6922) (GH-7015)
uuid._ipconfig_getnode did not validate the maximum length of the value,
so long as the value had the same type of formatting as a MAC address.
This let it select DUIDs as MAC addresses. It now requires an exact
length match..
