Bartosz Sosnowski 7d950c0d10 win, tty: improve SIGWINCH performance
Continuing improvement of SIGWINCH from PR #2308.

Running SetWinEventHook without filtering for the specific PIDs has
significant impact on the performance of the entire system. This PR
changes the way SIGWINCH is handled.

The SetWinEventHook callback now signals a separate thread,
uv__tty_console_resize_watcher_thread. This thread calls
uv__tty_console_signal_resize() which checks if the console was actually
resized. The uv__tty_console_resize_watcher_thread makes sure to not to
call the uv__tty_console_signal_resize function more than 30 times per
second.

The SetWinEventHook will not be installed, if the PID of the
conhost.exe process that owns the console window cannot be
determinated. This can happen when a 32bit libuv app is running on a
64bit Windows.

For such cases PR #1408 is partially reverted - when tty reads
WINDOW_BUFFER_SIZE_EVENT, it will also trigger a call to
uv__tty_console_signal_resize(). This will also help when the app is
running under console emulators. Documentation was also updated to
reflect that.
