SIGTRAP in kill emulation on Windows

[Alain Schneble]

Hello

The following patch provides support for SIGTRAP in the kill emulation
on Windows.  It implements mapping SIGTRAP to a call to
DebugBreakProcess in C code.  Patches that implement the discussed use
cases in LISP will be submitted separately as this change is useful on
its own, e.g. (signal-process PROCESS 'TRAP).

Subject: [PATCH] Support SIGTRAP in kill emulation on Windows

* src/w32proc.c (sys_kill): Translate SIGTRAP signal into a call to
  DebugBreakProcess to cause a breakpoint exception to occur in the
  specified process. Windows versions prior to Windows XP that do not
  support DebugBreakProcess return -1 and errno set to EINVAL as before.

Many thanks for considering and reviewing it.
