Windows: Call TerminateProcess, not ExitProcess

Ty Baen-Price explains:

> Problem and Resolution:
> The following lines of code make use of the Microsoft API ExitProcess:
>
> ```
> Apps\Speed.c line 335:	ExitProcess(ret);
> Ms\uplink.c line 22: ExitProcess(1);
> ```

> _orderly_ shutdown of a process and all its threads, i.e. it unloads
> all dlls and runs all destructors. See MSDN for details of exactly

And on the subject of `TerminateProcess()` being asynchronous:

> That is technically true, but I think it's probably synchronous
> "enough" for your purposes, since a call to TerminateProcess

> it's really only asynchronous if you're calling TerminateProcess one
> some _other_ process. If you're calling TerminateProcess on your own
> process, you'll never return from the TerminateProcess call.
