Rewrite safe_shell on Windows so that it doesn't pop up a console window.

Hence run_and_get_output is fixed too; this was worst when entering Distribute
Game menu, which could cause a whole lot of console windows to pop up if
utilities were missing from support/. Also complaints about this causing
keys to get stuck.

Before safe_shell just called SHELL, now it uses open_process (ie winapi calls).
Also added wait_for_process().
