Windows: Use anonymous pipes in Command

When setting `Stdio::pipe` on `Command` we want to create an anonymous pipe that can be used asynchronously (at least on our end). Usually we'd use [`CreatePipe`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/namedpipeapi/nf-namedpipeapi-createpipe) to open anonymous pipes but unfortunately it opens pipes for synchronous access. The alternative is to use [`CreateNamedPipeW`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/namedpipeapi/nf-namedpipeapi-createnamedpipew) which does allow asynchronous access but that requires giving a file name to the pipe. So we currently have this awful hack where we attempt to emulate anonymous pipes using `CreateNamedPipeW` by attempting to create a unique name and looping until we find one that doesn't already exist.

The better option is to use the lower level [`NtCreateNamedPipeFile`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/devnotes/nt-create-named-pipe-file) (which is used internally by both `CreatePipe` and `CreateNamedPipeW`). This function wasn't documented until a few years ago but now that it is it's ok for us to use it.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
