[issue31863] Inconsistent returncode/exitcode for terminated child processes on Windows

[Akos Kiss]

Akos Kiss <akosthekiss at gmail.com> added the comment:

`taskkill /F` sets exit code to 1, indeed. (Confirmed by experiment. Cannot find this behaviour documented, though.)

On the other hand, MS Docs state (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/signal#remarks) that termination by a signal "terminates the calling program with exit code 3". (So, there may be other "valid" exit codes, too.)
