bpo-19764: Implemented support for subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True) on Windows (#1218)
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles. By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix this race. In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit list of handles to inherit when creating a process. This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]` which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST directly.
