There are no `kill` function in Windows API.

Really don't see good solution. Maybe better what we can do — declare what 
os.kill cannot be called with 0 signum on Windows for proc presence checking 
and note that fact in os.rst.
Terminating process looks like overcomplication. POSIX kill only sends signal 
to process and nothing more.
