Similar to #26814.
Having a windows-only include of compat.h is confusing, not-only because it's already included globally via util/time.h, but also because it's unclear why compat.h is included (neither of the required headers are included there).
This change is related to removing the use of compat.h as a miscellaneous catch-all for unclear/platform specific includes. Somewhat prompted by IWYU-related discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26763/files#r1058861693.
Note that this was probably only here to indirectly receive windows.h
via another include in compat.h (windows.h or winreg.h aren't included
there).
Also note that compat.h is already pulled in here for everyone via
util/time.h, so including inside a windows only ifdef is secondarily
redundant.
Order includes.

Therefore, why not include the former only?
That would be the exact opposite of what we've been doing with IWYU, and just hides the actual dependency.
Replacing C-headers with C++ ones should be mentioned in the PR description and / or commit message, no?
I didn't think it needed calling out given it's a 7 line diff, but can add it to the PR description.
