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.
