On windows, the command line is passed as a single null-terminated string. While the automatic parameter escaping done by syscall.StartProcess works fine with most Windows programs, some applications do their own custom parsing of the command line, in which case the automatic escaping becomes harmful.
This CL adds a new extra CmdLine field to syscall.ProcAttr that will be used as the raw/unescaped command line if not empty.
Fixes#1849.

The SW_HIDE parameter looks like the only way for a windows GUI application to execute a CLI subcommand without having a shell windows appearing.

- StartProcess will work with relative (to attr.Dir, not
current directory) executable filenames
- StartProcess will only work if executable filename points
to the real file, it will not search for executable in the
$PATH list and others (see CreateProcess manual for details)
- StartProcess argv strings can contain any characters

so that spawned processes avoid inheriting pipes.
Implement CloseOnExec.
Make file and pipe handles inheritable.
