Stefan Haller b4dee2af0e Reap the pty's conhost on Windows builds where it fails to run down (#5879)
A pseudoconsole's conhost.exe is spawned by CreatePseudoConsole as a
child of lazygit, so it is not part of the job object that the pty
teardown kills. That is normally fine: a healthy conhost runs itself
down once the reference handle is closed and its clients are gone. But
conhost builds before the ConPTY overhaul that shipped with Windows 11
24H2 (confirmed on 23H2, build 22631) fail to complete the rundown
when a client attached after the close event was delivered and was
then killed -- the fate of exactly the clients the job kill exists for
-- and such a conhost lingers forever with no clients, at a rate of
about one per five fast commit navigations. These builds remain
widespread: all of Windows 10 (whose ESU tail runs into 2028, and
whose hardware often cannot run Windows 11 at all) plus pre-24H2
Windows 11 fleets.

Since Windows offers no way to obtain the conhost's pid or handle from
the HPCON, identify it by diffing lazygit's direct conhost children
around the CreatePseudoConsole call, serialized by a mutex so that two
concurrently starting ptys can't confuse each other's diff, and open a
handle immediately so that pid reuse is harmless. The teardown then
gives conhost a second to exit on its own before terminating it; on
healthy builds the wait succeeds and the reap never fires. If the
conhost can't be identified unambiguously, we simply don't reap, which
is no worse than before.
