[3.14] gh-137335: Fix unlikely name conflicts for named pipes in multiprocessing and asyncio on Windows (GH-137389) (GH-145170)
Since os.stat() raises an OSError for existing named pipe "\\.\pipe\...", os.path.exists() always returns False for it, and tempfile.mktemp() can return a name that matches an existing named pipe. So, tempfile.mktemp() cannot be used to generate unique names for named pipes. Instead, CreateNamedPipe() should be called in a loop with different names until it completes successfully.
