Enable basic windows support (#33)

* windows: fix implementation error
- repair configure_pipe
- allow vector initialization
- add draft destructor
- close pipes correctly

* windows: add some test compatibility

* windows: update readme

* windows: add vector args to check_output

-Unlike python2.7 subprocess module, this library currently only supports MAC OS and Linux.

+Support for Windows is limited at this time. Please report any specific use-cases that fail,
