Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between fork() and exec()). Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime (which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API. Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.
