Windows does not have CLOEXEC, but rather handles are marked explicitly
for being inherited by new processes. This can cause problems when
different Windows functions create new processes from different threads.
syscall.StartProcess has traditionally used a mutex to prevent races
with itself, but this doesn't handle races with other win32 functions.
Fortunately there's a solution: PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST allows
us to pass the entire list of handles that we want to be inherited. This
lets us get rid of the mutex and also makes process creation safe across
the Go runtime, no matter the context.
Updates #44011.
