test-http-branchmap: enable on Windows

Tests using "hg serve --daemon" are currently disabled on Windows for
lack of proper kill utility. The one shipped with MinGW operates on
internal process identifiers and not on the ones recorded by hg serve.
Fortunately we can replace most of them by calls to killdaemons.py.

This patch is a proof of concept on how to run these tests on Windows.
The plan is:
- Check test-http-branchmap.t does not fail/hang on the buildbot
- Convert all kill utility calls to killdaemons.py calls.
- Add a rule in check-code.py to forbid kill calls, or ignore the
  remaining ones (test-hup.t, etc.).
- Possibly drop the 'serve' rule from hghave.

The:

  listening at http://*:$HGPORT1/

line does not appear on Windows because the detached process can no
longer write on its parent streams. Grepping hg serve stdout directly
causes the parent process to never return and hangs the test. This is a
bug, but I have no simple solution and prefer to pay this small price
and enable hg serve tests on Windows.
