Revert Windows test watchdog() to kill('KILL', ...)
There are suspicions that the process tree kill('-KILL', ...) might be
nuking too much. It was only done to kill the cmd.exe+perl.exe tree that
was unexpectedly launched by system(1, $cmd), but by switching to
system({$perl} 1, $perl, '-e', $prog) we can avoid the intermediate cmd.exe
and thus revert to normal process kill('KILL', ...) instead to kill the
perl.exe that is now launched directly.
