critical section not released on failure to create emulated socketpair

Description

On Windows, a Win32 Event is used as a system wide critical section during creation of a emulated socketpair. If the socketpair creation fails due to resource exhaustion (for example), an assertion aborts the program, leaving the Win32 Event unreleased.

Once this happens, the only workaround is to close all programs using ZeroMQ. Once all references to the Event are removed, the Windows OS will delete the Event.
