Merge branch 'js/mingw-inherit-only-std-handles'

Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
operation in the parent process on Windows.

* js/mingw-inherit-only-std-handles:
  mingw: forbid translating ERROR_SUCCESS to an errno value
  mingw: do set `errno` correctly when trying to restrict handle inheritance
  mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows 7 and later
  mingw: spawned processes need to inherit only standard handles
  mingw: work around incorrect standard handles
  mingw: demonstrate that all file handles are inherited by child processes
