backend: Prevent flashing terminal on Windows

On Windows, even when the exec plugin's command is not interactive, running the command was still making the terminal window flash (default behavior on Windows). This can be annoying if a tool runs the exec plugin frequently. This patch prevents that problem by setting a sys proc attribute to hide windows, only when in the Windows platform and when the exec is non-interactive.
