Use the NtQueryInformationProcess system call to efficiently retrieve the parent process ID in a single step, rather than using the process snapshots API which retrieves large amounts of unnecessary information and is more prone to failure (since it makes heap allocations).

All APIs used are documented by Microsoft.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
