Cherry-pick of PR #21931 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
Fixes issue where on Windows 7 the first connection over a npipe would result in the client hanging and the server from never receiving the connection.
After digging deep into the Windows winio module I was able to determine it was an issue in the module and not in the Agent itself. microsoft/go-winio#173 Was reported as the issue, but has not been fixed in winio upstream. Use replace to github.com/bi-zone/go-winio fixes the issue as the change is committed in that repository and tagged.
Why is it important?
So installation of Elastic Agent works as expected and actions talking to the running daemon do not hang and block the executing installation.
