Windows: simplify the pipe(2) implementation
Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the
reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to
close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between
fork() and exec()).
Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime
(which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into
non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API.
Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create
non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.
