Imbue Execution with a new PlatformHandles structure which provides access to platform-specific handles used to control the process while it is running. This is necessary for interop with certain platform-native APIs, especially on Windows. One test has been introduced which shows how this API could be used to associate a subprocess with a Job Object using the Windows API. In future, the idea is that PlatformHandles could store a process descriptor on Linux (clone3(..., CLONE_PIDFD) / pidfd_open) and FreeBSD (pdfork), or other platforms which may have or introduce similar concepts in the future.
