Description

When building `Process` module (`develop` branch) on Ubuntu 22.04 from WSL on Windows machine with these commands:

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost-build-process
cd boost-build-process
git checkout develop
git submodule update --init --recursive

echo "using gcc : : x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ ;" > "user-config-x64.jam"

./bootstrap.sh
./b2 --with-process --user-config=./user-config-x64.jam --prefix=./boost-x64 target-os=windows address-model=64 variant=debug --debug-configuration install
```

I get the following errors:

```

Full logs: [x64_boost_build.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17149741/x64_boost_build.log)

As suggested in [mailing list](https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2024/09/257935.php), I tested building while setting `_WIN32_WINNT` to higher version and it seemed to build fine afterwards. From the testing, it seems that `Process` needs at least `_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600` (Windows Vista) and `x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++` from Ubuntu 22.04 sets `_WIN32_WINNT=0x0502` (Windows XP SP2).

Would it make sense to set such requirement in the `Process` module itself?
