Consecutive DumpRenderTree crash on WinCairo BuildBots

It happens occasionally on both test bots:

- WinCairo 64-bit WKL Release (Tests)
- WinCairo 64-bit WKL Debug (Tests)

For example:

I can't reproduce this issue on my bare Windows PC.
However, it's easy to reproduce with Windows Docker on my PC.

"docker run" frequently fails "hcsshim: timeout waiting" error on my PC. I need to try it repeatedly to start a Docker container.

It seems that one possible workaround is limit the number of CPU as 1. 
Pass --cpu-count=1 to docker, or --child-processes=1 to run-webkit-tests.

poll() returns -4 in that case.

[Fujii Hironori]

I applied a patch to show returncode to trunk@234190.
Here are the patch and the log.
https://gist.github.com/fujii/92f167fe59c231247d39ded503320bd8

There are two values of returncode, -1073741819 and -4.

> 15:48:38.313 3196 This test marked as a crash because of failure to poll the server process. returncode=-1073741819
> 15:48:47.289 24964 This test marked as a crash because of failure to poll the server process. returncode=-1073741819
> 15:50:09.235 9780 This test marked as a crash because of failure to poll the server process. returncode=-4
> 15:50:09.471 9780 This test marked as a crash because of failure to poll the server process. returncode=-4

-4 is the reurncode of consecutive DumpRenderTree crash.

returncode should be the valud of GetExitCodeProcess.
It's weird it is a negative value.
Looking though Python-2.7.15 source code, I can't find the code it makes negative.

> return PyInt_FromLong(exit_code);

This code converts DWORD to long. It can make a negative value.
If that true, exit code given by GetExitCodeProcess were fffffffc (-4) or c0000005 (-1073741819).

According to the above page, c0000005 means access violation.

It seems that -4 means page allocation failure.

A env var WEBKIT_TEST_CHILD_PROCESSES=2 is set on test bots to avoid this issue.

This change has solved the issue.
