Previously, StartHandler() launched the handler process, then connected
over a pipe to register for crash handling. Instead, the initial client
can create and inherit handles to the handler and pass those handle
values and other data (addresses, etc.) on the command line.
This should improve startup time as there's no need to synchronize with
the process at startup, and allows avoiding a call to CreateProcess()
directly in StartHandler(), which is important for registration for
crash reporting from DllMain().
Incidentally adds new utility functions for string/number conversion and
string splitting.
Note: API change; UseHandler() is removed for all platforms.

This more-natural spelling doesn’t require Crashpad developers to have
to remember anything special when writing code in Crashpad. It’s easier
to grep for and it’s easier to remove the “compat” part when pre-C++11
libraries are no longer relevant.

This consolidates all of the twisted casts and comments that discuss how
HANDLEs are really only 32 bits wide even in 64-bit processes on 64-bit
operating systems into a single location.
