[issue14522] Avoid using DuplicateHandle() on sockets in multiprocessing.connection

[sbt]

New submission from sbt <shibturn at gmail.com>:

In multiprocessing.connection on Windows, socket handles are indirectly duplicated using DuplicateHandle() instead the WSADuplicateSocket().  According to Microsoft's documentation this is not supported.

This is easily avoided by using socket.detach() instead of duplicating the handle.
