os: report Windows exit status in hex

We print things like “exit status 3221225477”
but the standard Windows form is 0xc0000005.

This CL is part of a stack adding windows/arm64
support (#36439), intended to land in the Go 1.17 cycle.
This CL is, however, not windows/arm64-specific.
It is cleanup meant to make the port (and future ports) easier.
