[windows] IO#tty? leaks C runtime descriptors
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-4152
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4152
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Windows
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.4.0RC2, JRuby 1.5
            Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov


IO.tty? uses WindowsPOSIX's isatty() method which creates the C runtime 
descriptors, but never frees them, so they are being leaked.

Consider the following test:
{code}
p $stdin.tty?

10_000.times {
  $stdin.tty?
}

p $stdin.tty?
{code}

JRuby would produce true and then false.

*NOTE*: Closing the descriptor right in isatty() is also wrong, since closing 
it would also close the associated file descriptor, thus making the particular 
IO instance unusable.
