I think the outcome of the civil war will be one of those things lost to history and that something so big that it makes that point moot will happen fairly quickly, like another Great War. We probably get some story about the "Dragonborn who united Skyrim and the other human nations in their war against the Aldmeri Dominion".
My money is still on them not even mentioning a winner, only that it was resolved. "I hear Skyrim is still recovering from that horrible civil war." "Aye, I hear them say there's still debate over who won."
