[PATCH v2] Cygwin: pty: Add missing CloseHandle() calls.

- PTY code which support pseudo console has a problem that causes
  handle leaks. Four of these are bug in pty code, and the other
  one seems to be a bug of Windows10. ClosePseudoConsole() fails
  to close one internal handle. This patch fixes the issue.
