windows: clarify the need for invalidcontinue.obj
Git's source code wants to be able to close() the same file descriptor multiple times, ignoring the error returned by the second call (and the ones after that), or to access the osfhandle of an already-closed stdout, among other things that the UCRT does not like. Simply linking invalidcontinue.obj allows such usage without resorting to Debug Assertions (or exiting with exit code 9 in Release Mode). Let's add a note so we don't forget, as suggested by Jeff Hostetler. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235330.aspx for more details.
