avutil/file_open: avoid file handle inheritance on Windows

Avoids inheritance of file handles on Windows systems similar to the
O_CLOEXEC/FD_CLOEXEC flag on Linux.

Fixes file lock issues in Windows applications when a child process
is started with handle inheritance enabled (standard input/output
redirection) while a FFmpeg transcoding is running in the parent
process.

Describes the _wsopen() function and the O_NOINHERIT flag. File handles
opened by _wsopen() are inheritable by default.

Describes handle inheritance when creating new processes. Handle
inheritance must be enabled (bInheritHandles = TRUE) e.g. when you want
to pass handles for stdin/stdout via lpStartupInfo.
