Using a "random" name for an "anonymous" pipe seems to be the state of the art 
on windows (according to stack overflow, new windows versions may have 
something better, but it involves calling kernel APIs directly and generally a 
lot of dark magic).

The problem with the current method was that is does not produce unique names 
if one has two copies of the pipe code in the same process, which is what 
happened with #120457 (because liblldb only exposes the public api, and we've 
started using the pipe code in lldb-dap as well).

This patch works around the problem by adding the address of the counter 
variable to the pipe name.

Replicating the multiple-copies setup in a test would be very difficult, which 
is why I'm not adding a test for this scenario.
