runtests: drop logic calling the handle tool (Windows)
In the cases observed throughout the last year, `handle64` run once per
test run, but with no action (match or task kill). It did not help with
flakiness and seems redundant.

runtests launched it (if present) in Cygwin/MSYS jobs too, where it
probably shouldn't have, because we have seen no flakiness there. In CI
the tool was present and launched in MSYS2 jobs, but not in Cygwin.

After this patch the "clearlocks" warning remain in the log. They are
consistently appearing once in every MSVC CI log, early in the tests:
```
