Implement open_pipev in terms of popen for Windows which

does not have for or exec.  We could use CreateProcess and CreatePipe,
et cetera, but it won't buy us anything because the whole point
of this function is to improve the argument passing, and CreateProcess
takes a single command line string, not too different from popen.

* stream.c (pipev_close, make_pipev_stream): Surrounded with
HAVE_FORK_STUFF ifdef.
(pipe_close): Choice of close strategy conditional on HAVE_FORK_STUFF.
(open_pipev): Conditionally defined in two ways now.
(win_escape_arg, win_make_cmdline): New static functions.
