Subject: [PATCH v2] windows: Only consider us to be running as service if
 stderr is invalid.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.
