std: Add a nonblocking `Child::try_wait` method
This commit adds a new method to the `Child` type in the `std::process` module
called `try_wait`. This method is the same as `wait` except that it will not
block the calling thread and instead only attempt to collect the exit status. On
Unix this means that we call `waitpid` with the `WNOHANG` flag and on Windows it
just means that we pass a 0 timeout to `WaitForSingleObject`.
Currently it's possible to build this method out of tree, but it's unfortunately
tricky to do so. Specifically on Unix you essentially lose ownership of the pid
for the process once a call to `waitpid` has succeeded. Although `Child` tracks
this state internally to be resilient to multiple calls to `wait` or a `kill`
after a successful wait, if the child is waited on externally then the state
inside of `Child` is not updated. This means that external implementations of
this method must be extra careful to essentially not use a `Child`'s methods
after a call to `waitpid` has succeeded (even in a nonblocking fashion).
By adding this functionality to the standard library it should help canonicalize
these external implementations and ensure they can continue to robustly reuse
the `Child` type from the standard library without worrying about pid ownership.

This commit fixes a mistake introduced in #31618 where overlapped handles were
leaked to child processes on Windows. On Windows once a handle is in overlapped
mode it should always have I/O executed with an instance of `OVERLAPPED`. Most
child processes, however, are not prepared to have their stdio handles in
overlapped mode as they don't use `OVERLAPPED` on reads/writes to the handle.
Now we haven't had any odd behavior in Rust up to this point, and the original
bug was introduced almost a year ago. I believe this is because it turns out
that if you *don't* pass an `OVERLAPPED` then the system will [supply one for
you][link]. In this case everything will go awry if you concurrently operate on
the handle. In Rust, however, the stdio handles are always locked, and there's
no way to not use them unlocked in libstd. Due to that change we've always had
synchronized access to these handles, which means that Rust programs typically
"just work".
Conversely, though, this commit fixes the test case included, which exhibits
behavior that other programs Rust spawns may attempt to execute. Namely, the
stdio handles may be concurrently used and having them in overlapped mode wreaks
havoc.

Add socket timeout and ttl support in `sys::redox`
This adds support for `read_timeout`, `write_timeout`, and `ttl` on `TcpStream`, `TcpListener`, and `UdpSocket` in the `sys::redox` module.
The DNS lookup has been set to use a 5 second timeout by default.
std: Clamp max read/write sizes on Unix
Turns out that even though all these functions take a `size_t` they don't
actually work that well with anything larger than the maximum value of
`ssize_t`, the return value. Furthermore it looks like OSX rejects any
read/write requests larger than `INT_MAX - 1`. Handle all these cases by just
clamping the maximum size of a read/write on Unix to a platform-specific value.
Closes#38590
Ctrl-Z returns from Stdin.read() when reading from the console on Windows
Fixes#19914.
Fixes read(), read_to_string(), read_to_end(), etc.

Removes magenta build warning.
Small bug fix to remove an unused type in the magenta process code that causes build failures for magenta's rustc.

Redox Cross Compilation
I will admit - there are things here that I wish I did not have to do. This completes the ability to create a cross compiler from the rust repository for `x86_64-unknown-redox`. I will document this PR with inline comments explaining some things.
[View this gist to see how a cross compiler is built](https://gist.github.com/jackpot51/6680ad973986e84d69c79854249f2b7e)
