The test-stdin-from-from-file test runs a subprocess that verifies stdin
can be piped from a file.
The subprocess additionally attempts to verify that the file descriptor
for stdin never gets closed. It used to do this by creating a TCP server
and asserting that the associated file descriptor is greater than two.
However this strategy doesn't work on windows, because servers don't
have an associated file descriptor. With this patch an ordinary file is
opened instead of creating a server.

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
Even if stdio streams are opened as file streams, we should not ever try
to close them. This could be accomplished by passing `autoClose: false`
in options on their creation.
