Sebastiaan van Stijn 89de943401 pkg/pidfile: windows: replace magic consts for golang.org/x/sys consts
These consts were defined locally, but are now defined in golang.org/x/sys, so
we can use those.

Also added some documentation about how this function works, taking the description
from the GetExitCodeProcess function (processthreadsapi.h) API reference:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-getexitcodeprocess

> The GetExitCodeProcess function returns a valid error code defined by the
> application only after the thread terminates. Therefore, an application should
> not use `STILL_ACTIVE` (259) as an error code (`STILL_ACTIVE` is a macro for
> `STATUS_PENDING` (minwinbase.h)). If a thread returns `STILL_ACTIVE` (259) as
> an error code, then applications that test for that value could interpret it
> to mean that the thread is still running, and continue to test for the
> completion of the thread after the thread has terminated, which could put
> the application into an infinite loop.
