Believe or not, `CreateProcess()` is racy if several threads create
child processes: [0], [1], [2].
This caused some tests show crash dialogs during
`make check-stage#-rpass`.
More explanation:
On Windows, `SetErrorMode()` controls display of error dialogs: it
accepts new error mode and returns old error mode.
The error mode is process-global and automatically inherited to child
process when created.
MSYS2 bash shell internally sets it to not show error dialogs, therefore
`make check-stage#-rpass` should not show them either.
However, [1] says that `CreateProcess()` internally invokes
`SetErrorMode()` twice: at first it sets mode `0x8001` and saves
original mode, and at second it restores original mode.
So if two threads simultaneously call `CreateProcess()`, the first
thread sets error mode to `0x8001` then the second thread recognizes
that current error mode is `0x8001`. Therefore, The second thread will
create process with wrong error mode.
This really occurs inside `compiletest`: it creates several processes on
each thread, so some `run-pass` tests are invoked with wrong error mode
therefore show crash dialog.
This commit adds `StaticMutex` for `CreateProcess()` call. This seems
to fix the "dialog annoyance" issue.
