Win32(core): do not duplicate handle

Unlike _endthread and ExitThread, _endthreadex doesn't close the handle.
It is therefore up to the caller to close it. Hence no need for an extra
handle duplication (that mostly amounted to a memory leak when the normal
 path was used, i.e normal return from thread with implicit _endthreadex)
