Allocate a new console for stdin.

Allocate a new console for processes which require stdin instead of
using the pipe hack.

-Note that if you set AppStdout and/or AppStderr, applications which attempt
-to read stdin will fail due to a combination of factors including the way I/O
-redirection is configured on Windows and how a console application starts in
