Based on this issue: #36583
I created a quick repo [ https://github.com/andrei0x309/tets_sym_proc](https://github.com/andrei0x309/tets_sym_proc) to illustrate
how this feature can be used, it essentially lets you run something even if your main script has terminated.
It is useful if you want to create something like
`new Process(['php', 'script_with_long_execution_time.php']);`
This was impossible to do on windows until the **create_new_console** flag was added in PHP 7.4.4.
With this feature Process can be used like this:
```
// Start a process and detach form it on Win only
$process = new Process(['php', 'worker.php']);
$process->setOptions(["create_new_console" => true]); // New method I added
$process->disableOutput();
$process->start();
Process Class behavior will never change if the user doesn't use setWinOptions()
```
