Use _beginthreadex instead of CreateThread
since we use the Windows CRT,
as Microsoft recommends _beginthreadex
over CreateThread for these situations.
Finally, check for NULL handles, not "INVALID_HANDLE,"
as _beginthreadex guarantees a valid handle in most cases

win32: fix thread usage for win32
Use pthread_exit instead of async_exit.
This means we do not have to deal with Windows's implementation
requiring an unsigned exit coded despite the POSIX exit code requiring a
signed exit code.
