Can't keep spawned process running in background in Windows

[davidmurdoch]

(aside: I think the killDeepTree example is broken on Windows)

I'd like to spawn a process in the background, listen in on it for a while, and then have the parent process exit. Just like setting node's SpawnOptions detached property to true.

Is this possible with node-pty on Windows?

I think this is essentially a feature request as we never tried to add support for this. This is out of scope for the project for now but if it's easy I'm not opposed to accepting a contribution.

Sure, though I'd classify as a request for parity, since it can be done on linux and macOS.
