Add latest support version information for Windows 95/98/ME/NT4

With searching in Google and trying to run several official unmodified verions of Notepad++ in virtual machines. Notepad++ come with several plugins enabled, which may stop working before Notepad++ version. Please attention that, the installed version of Internet Explorer may affect other software, which I did not test. The following is what I get.

For Windows 95, refer to these links:

I've confirmed that Notepad++ 3.9 runs on Windows 95 RTM/OSR 2.5, and Notepad++ 4.0.1 doesn't (4.0 not found, but I think there's only minor changes). So Notepad++ 3.9 is the latest version for Windows 95.

For Windows NT 4.0, nothing found when searching.

I've confirmed that Notepad++ 4.6 runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP6, and Notepad++ 4.7.1/4.7.2/4.7.3 runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 4.7.5 doesn't work. So Notpad++ 4.7.3 is the latest for Windows NT 4 with plugins disabled.

For Windows 98/ME, refer to these links:

I've confirmed that Notepad++ 5.9.6.2 (ANSI) runs Windows 98 SE/ME, and Notepad++ 5.9.8/6.0 (ANSI) runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 6.1 doesn't work because no ANSI version available. So Notepad++ 6.0 (ANSI) is the latest for Windows 98/ME with plugins disabled.

For Windows 2000, I've confirmed that Notepad++ 6.5 runs on Windows 2000 SP4, and Notepad++ 6.6 with default plugins runs with error, and Notepad++ 6.7 doesn't work. So Notepad++ 6.6.9 is the latest for Windows 2000 with plugins disabled.
