Joey Hess f11f7520b5 windows: Fix process termination code.
The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.

No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.

This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.

TerminateProcess(h, 1);

CloseHandle(h);
