IQA-463: Use APR file I/O for downloaded viewer installer .exe.
On Windows, calling CreateProcess(bInheritHandles=FALSE) is the wrong idea. In that case, CreateProcess() passes NO handles -- even the files you've explicitly designated as the child's stdin, stdout, stderr in the STARTUPINFO struct! Remove LLProcess code to tweak bInheritHandles; we should also remove the corresponding (useless) APR extension. Instead, given that the Windows file-locking problem we've observed is specific to the viewer installer .exe file downloaded by the background updater logic, use APR file I/O for that specific file. Empirically, both llofstream and std::ofstream seem to make the open file handle inheritable; but apr_file_open() documentation says: "By default, the returned file descriptor will not be inherited by child processes created by apr_proc_create()." And indeed, it does appear to sidestep the locking problem.
