Python/pytime.c includes windows.h for timeval. But it's not necessary to include the full header, because timeval is defined in winsock headers.

Missing piece of information, it's also _documented_ as being part of the winsock headers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsock/ns-winsock-timeval

Plenty of things get included inadvertently, but they can't be relied upon. In this case it seems like an okay change.

Also, for future reference, compile-only changes typically don't require a NEWS entry (since users are not going to be interested in reading it in the changelog, and we have commit messages for developers). We have the ability to skip the requirement on the PR, so feel free to just ignore the failure until we get to take a look.
