Previously, on older Windows OS Windows agent may use invalid PID to kill process tree of the hanging Windows agent's updater thus crashing Windows.

Since this release, terminating of the hanging cmk-update-agent.exe is based not only on PID, but also on name thus eliminating possibility of the crash.
