MSVC rejects a calling convention placed before the '*' of a pointer return type with C2165, so every translation unit including candle.h failed to compile. MinGW accepts the upstream spelling, which is why the cross build did not catch this.

candle API (gs_usb / candleLight Windows driver)
Vendored copy of the candle Windows API used by SavvyCAN's gs_usb
connection (connections/gs_usb.cpp). It talks to gs_usb class devices
(candleLight, CANable, CANnectivity, cantact, ...) over WinUSB, so no vendor
driver is needed — only a WinUSB binding on the device interface (which the
stock candleLight/CANable firmware already declares via WCID descriptors).

Local changes
Kept to the minimum needed to build here; re-apply them when refreshing from upstream.
candle.h/candle.c: the three functions returning a pointer declared the calling convention before the*(wchar_t __stdcall DLL *candle_dev_get_path). MinGW accepts that, MSVC rejects it with C2165, so__stdcallmoved behind the*.
