Windows: Make OpenSSH properly detect tty detachment.
Apparently, CREATE_NO_WINDOW makes the OS tell the process that it has a console, but without actually creating the window. As a result, when git is started from GUI, ssh tries to ask its questions on the invisible console. This patch uses DETACHED_PROCESS instead, which clearly means that the process should be left without a console. The downside is that if the process manually calls AllocConsole, the window will appear. A similar thing might occur if it calls another console executable.
