[PATCH setup] Propagate exit code of elevated process


Propagate the exit code of elevated process, when --wait is used.

This addresses part of the problem about exit code noted in [1], although we
also need to audit that a non-zero exit code is reported in all error
situations.

[1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-07/msg00020.html

Also report if starting the elevated child process failed.
