While openvpn.exe can run multiple concurrent processes, openvpnserv.exe
is usually only one single globally unique running process.

This patch extends openvpnserv.exe to support multiple service instances
in parallel allowing side-by-side OpenVPN installations.

Alternate instances must be installed as `SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS`
(Type 0x10) and must use the newly introduced service command line
parameter:
-instance <name> <id>
<name> can be `automatic` or `interactive`.

- The service settings will be loaded from `HKLM\Software\<id>` registry
  key.

- The automatic service will use `<id>_exit_1` exit event.

- The interactive service will accept requests on
  `\\.\pipe\<id>\service` named pipe, and run IPC with openvpn.exe on
  `\\.\pipe\<id>\service_<pid>`.

This patch preserves backward compatibility, by defaulting to
`SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS` and `OpenVPN` as service ID.

Hi,

RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx() is obviously happy with any service name for 
`SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS` service types. I have tested it.
However, I did take an extra step to set status.dwServiceType correctly. 
Although, according to my testing it worked even when not set correctly too.

Since there wasn't much extra work, the "legacy" automatic service has been 
extended to support multiple instances too.

Best regards,
Simon
