Force pgwin32_recv into nonblock mode when called from pgstat.c.

This should get rid of the usage of pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket entirely,
and perhaps thereby remove the race condition that's evidently still
present on some versions of Windows.  The previous arrangement was a bit
unsafe anyway, since waiting at the recv() would not allow pgstat to notice
postmaster death.
