With a recent change in Cygwin (which is the basis of the msys2-runtime), a GUI process desiring to launch an MSys2 executable needs to allocate a console for the new process (otherwise the process will just hang on Windows XP). _Git Bash_ is such a GUI process. While at it, use correct handles when inheriting the stdin/stdout/stderr handles: `GetStdHandle()` returns NULL for invalid handles, but the STARTUPINFO must specify `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` instead. Originally, the hope was that only this `NULL` => `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` conversion would be required to fix the Windows XP issue mentioned above (extensive debugging revealed that starting _Git Bash_ on Windows XP would yield invalid handles for `stdin` and `stderr`, but *not* for `stdout`). However, while _Git Bash_ eventually showed a `mintty` when not allocating a new console, it took around one second to show it, and several seconds to close it. So let's just include both fixes.
