Title: Added windows support for shared memory and SharedArray.

- Added cross-platform (POSIX and windows) interface for shared memory (in `base/shmem.jl`).
- Edited `SharedArray` to use this new interface.
- Edited the test scripts and documentation to reflect the new support for windows.
- Verified `test/parallel.jl` runs successfully on 32-bit and 64-bit windows and 64-bit linux.
