[Bug 52761] mscoree:mscoree test fails without a display or console

--- Comment #16 from Jacek Caban <jacek at codeweavers.com> ---
STARTF_USESTDHANDLES gives you full control over std handles and when
specified, it overrides default handling. When it's not specified, default
handling depends on other factors and Windows either inherits handles from
parent process or fills them with console handles (or no handles at all). If
you want to create a process with no console, but redirected std handles, then
a mix of STARTF_USESTDHANDLES and DETACHED_PROCESS should do the trick. This
article describes it in great details (and was mostly accurate for cases that I
tested): https://github.com/rprichard/win32-console-docs/blob/master/README.md

The problem I described in comment 8 is more general than this test and the
problem may affect other CI-alike scenarios as well. I also noticed that
mscoree tests additionally use CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag, which is not implemented
on Wine. My understanding (I didn't test it) is that this flag should cause
console to be created without a visible window (so it's essentially an
invisible instance of conhost.exe process). That's another problem that would
ideally be fixed as well.
