compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int

The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.

This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.

In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.
