Add support to start a process on Windows (#2310)

* Add support to start a process on Windows

This is heavily inspired by https://github.com/masthoon/pwintools

Allows to use the `process` tube on a Windows host running local
processes. I've tried to keep the changes at a minimum. Windows doesn't
support non-blocking reads, so I've opted to handle the reading in a
separate thread to simulate the non-blocking check.

* Fix `misc.which()` on Windows

`os.getuid()` is only supported on unix.

* Support [read|write]mem, libs and cwd

* Update CHANGELOG

* Don't cache loaded modules

* Wait output on stdout in `process.can_recv_raw`

Instead of handling the timeout for reading poorly in `process.recv_raw`,
wait for any bytes to be available in `process.can_recv_raw` like on linux.

This prevents a 100% spin of one core in `tube.interactive()` since it
expects the thread to block for `timeout` seconds while we would return
immediately previously.

* Remove PythonForWindows dependency

This loses the `readmem` and `writemem` feature, but that's not
necessary for this basic process startup support.

* Fix cyclic imports

* Ignore errors in reading thread

This could cause a deadlock / fastfail on shutdown when stdout is closed, thus read(1) fails
and the exception is tried to be printed to the console while stderr is in the process of getting
closed.
