Win32: Try to fix handle leaks in capture_sync.
If CreateProcess succeeds, close our child's primary thread handle. As the PROCESS_INFORMATION page at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684873.aspx says, If the function succeeds, be sure to call the CloseHandle function to close the hProcess and hThread handles when you are finished with them. Otherwise, when the child process exits, the system cannot clean up the process structures for the child process because the parent process still has open handles to the child process. Closing the handle immediately doesn't seem to do any harm here, but add a note that we might want to store it and close it later. In sync_interface_stats_open, close our message and data descriptors after calling sync_pipe_wait_for_child.
