os: fix a race between Process.signal() and wait() on Windows

Process.handle was accessed without synchronization while wait() and
signal() could be called concurrently.

A first solution was to add a Mutex in Process but it was probably too
invasive given Process.handle is only used on Windows.

This version uses atomic operations to read the handle value. There is
still a race between isDone() and the value of the handle, but it only
leads to slightly incorrect error codes. The caller may get a:

  errors.New("os: process already finished")

instead of:

  syscall.EINVAL

which sounds harmless.

Fixes #9382
