gitk: Do not depend on Cygwin's "kill" command on Windows

Windows does not necessarily mean Cygwin, it could also be MSYS. The
latter ships with a version of "kill" that does not understand "-f".
In msysgit this was addressed by shipping Cygwin's version of kill.

Properly fix this by using the stock Windows "taskkill" command instead,
which is available since Windows XP Professional.
