If echo = false, simple_prompt() is supposed to prevent echoing the input (for password input). However, the Windows implementation applied the mode change to STD_INPUT_HANDLE. That would not have the desired effect if stdin isn't actually the terminal, for instance if the user is piping something into psql. Fix it to apply the mode change to the correct input file, so that passwords do not echo in such cases. In passing, shorten and de-uglify this code by using #elif rather than an #if nest and removing some duplicated code. Back-patch to all supported versions. To simplify that, also back-patch the portions of commit 9daec77e1 that got rid of an unnecessary malloc/free in the same area.
