Mark Mentovai 2eeaa3ac54 win: Add HandleToInt() and IntToHandle()
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.

//! `HANDLE` is a `typedef` for `void *`, but `HANDLE` values arent necessarily
//! pointers to anything. Only 32 bits of shareable `HANDLE`s are significant,

//! This function safely converts a shareable `HANDLE` to an `int` similarly to
//! a cast operation. It checks that the operation can be performed safely, and
//! aborts execution if it cannot.
//!
//! \param[in] handle The shareable `HANDLE` to convert.
//!
//! \return An equivalent `int`, truncated (if necessary) from \a handle. If
//! truncation would have resulted in an `int` that could not be converted
//! back to \a handle, aborts execution.
