Report success when Windows kill() emulation signals an exiting process.

This is consistent with the POSIX verdict that kill() shall not report
ESRCH for a zombie process.  Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Test code from commit d7cdf6ee36adeac9233678fb8f2a112e6678a770 depends
on it, and log messages about kill() reporting "Invalid argument" will
cease to appear for this not-unexpected condition.
