port transferkeys to windows; make stopping in progress transfers work too (probably)

Browse source 
transferkeys had used special FDs for communication, but that would be
quite annoying to do in Windows.

Instead, use stdin and stdout. But, to avoid commands like rsync stomping
on them and messing up the communications channel, they're duplicated to a
different handle; stdin is replaced with a null handle, and stdout is
replaced with a copy of stderr. This should all work in windows too.

Stopping in progress transfers may work on windows.. if the types unify
anyway. ;) May need some more porting.

may be unsafe.
* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete
and/or buggy.
* Assistant is known to not transfer any files.
(transferrer doesn't built yet)
Need a createPipe for windows. See the mkAnonPipe in
System.Process source. (cbits/runProcess.c)
* No XMPP support (needs a lot of C libraries which are available in
cygwin, but pkg-config does not list them once installed).
* Doesn't daemonize. Maybe use
