Promptly close pipe handles passed to child

Parent keeping the handle to write end of child's stdout will
cause ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE not signalled if/when the child exits.

Also add a wrapper for CloseHandle()

Fixes the GUI process hanging in read from child
if the latter unexpectedly dies due to some error.
