Add helper functions for pipes (#17566)
Split off from #17510:
* `HandleWantsOverlappedIo` can be used to check if a handle requires
  overlapped IO. This is important, as `ReadFile` and `WriteFile` are
  documented to not work correctly if an overlapped handle is used
  without overlapped IO and vice versa.
  In my tests with pipes, this appears to be true.
* `CreatePipe` creates a synchronous, unidirectional pipe.
* `CreateOverlappedPipe` does what it says on the tin, while allowing
  you to specify the direction of the pipe (in, out, duplex).
* `GetOverlappedResultSameThread` is largely the same as
  `GetOverlappedResult`, but adds back a neat optimization from
  the time before Windows 7. I thought it was neat.
