win32: specify _CREATE_NO_WINDOW on spawndetached()

Before this change, a console window briefly popped up on "hg serve -d" and
disappeared again, stealing the focus window (which was very annyoing when
running tests).

Specifying _CREATE_NO_WINDOW instead of _DETACHED_PROCESS fixes this (as tested
on Windows 7 x64).

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
