Random IO errors on Windows 10.0.16299.64

[segevfiner]

For example:

C:\>python
Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 20:19:30) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print 123
123
>>> print 123
123Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 0] Error
>>> print 123
123
>>>

This can manifest itself in many different ways.

This is either:

1. A bug in winpty (Are we using the latest version?), possibly only triggered in the latest Windows 10 update
2. Our code that interfaces with it.
3. An external program interfering (Injecting DLL's that break stuff...).
4. Something completely different.

@ivankravets Created a PR 😉

This was eventually found to be a bug in Windows 10 itself 😓

See referencing issues for details.

This was fixed in Windows 10 version 1803 (microsoft/vscode#36630).
