os: fix a race between Process.signal() and wait() on Windows
Process.handle was accessed without synchronization while wait() and signal() could be called concurrently. A first solution was to add a Mutex in Process but it was probably too invasive given Process.handle is only used on Windows. This version uses atomic operations to read the handle value. There is still a race between isDone() and the value of the handle, but it only leads to slightly incorrect error codes. The caller may get a: errors.New("os: process already finished") instead of: syscall.EINVAL which sounds harmless.
