Using QProcess::startDetached() on the console app on Windows causes cmd.exe window to be shown

Many applications of KDE on Windows project with graphical interface have the following issue: when they start a console process (that is, compiled with /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) using QProcess::startDetached(), it doesn't run in the background, but its console windows pops up. After the discussion [1] we nailed the problem down to Qt.

Windows code for QProcess::start() checks if the caller app have a console window using GetConsoleWindow() system function. If it returns 0, qt arranges system flags accordingly so the console window isn't shown.

But QProcess::startDetached() does not perform such check and sets CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag unconditionally. Applying patch from [2] solves this issue for us, but we'd like to upstream this.
