On Windows, handlers are not inherited by default (unlike unix). This
includes stdout and stderr, so by default a process launched via
CreateProcess does not send output to the same place as its parent. When
running ChromeDriver manually in a terminal this is fine, since all the
output ends up in the terminal anyway, but if ChromeDriver is launched
programmatically then the root process cannot see the output from the
browser:

my_runner.exe --> chromedriver.exe --> chrome.exe

In the above example, without inherited handles my_runner.exe does not
see chrome.exe's output.

The solution is to set the stdout and stderr handles to be the same ones
that ChromeDriver is using, and make them explicitly inherited.
