Merge branch 'inherit-only-stdhandles'

When spawning child processes, we do want them to inherit the standard
handles so that we can talk to them. We do *not* want them to inherit
any other handle, as that would hold a lock to the respective files
(preventing them from being renamed, modified or deleted), and the child
process would not know how to access that handle anyway.

Happily, there is an API to make that happen. It is supported in Windows
Vista and later, which is exactly what we promise to support in Git for
Windows for the time being.

This also means that we lift, at long last, the target Windows version
from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
