As far as I'm aware PEP 237[0] means this suffix is superfluous even
on Python 2.4, and we can just drop it, which makes this code happy on
Python 3.

To distinguish between access violaition (process belonging to another user)
and a terminated process, PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION must be enabled. But
TerminateProcess still raises error 5 in both cases. Therefore check before if
the process has already terminated.
After kill, wait for the process to terminate. When it does not in time,
write a debug message similar as in other os. But no 2nd forceful attempt
is done.
