Subject: [PATCH] Attach to the console on Windows

This makes `std::cout` working again after switching to a GUI
application in https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi/pull/2067. It still
does not open a console when launched from the Windows Explorer, but
when launched from a terminal, it will now print to the terminal again,
as before.
