Windows triggerRestart() not working

[chicknsoup]

Similar to watchParrent(), we cannot send signals between windows processes, so triggerRestart() obviously does not work.

To fix this, we have to find a way to send/receive messages between master/slave processes.

• gRPC over tcp
• RESTful
• Windows API (like postmessage/sendmessage)

What do you think? @jpillora

It would be good to swap from signals to a more cross-platform approach. Can windows use net.ListenUnix? If so I'm thinking we listen with a random socket file, then we pass the filename into the child process. Then we can have proper bi-directional communications, where we remove all of the signal handling (except user restarts) and use socket file tcp instead

Yes, recent versions of Windows support AF_UNIX, so net.ListenUnix works. Just did a quick test on my Windows 10 machine, it works as expected.
