Don't wait for SIGTERM'ed forked children on Windows

SIGTERM may never get delivered when a thread/process is blocked in a
system call.  To avoid a deadlock Perl will now no longer wait for
children to terminate after they have been signalled with SIGTERM.

Note: this *only* applies to fork() emulation on Windows.  Read
pod/perlfork.pod for context on other limitation of this emulation.
