On Windows, the pipe API is very different from unix that uv_poll will not work easily without some big change. Instead, we introduce an Async event that can be easily mapped to uv_async, while keep self pipe trick on linux for other event loop implementation.
We will try to avoid pipe usage in the actual code for simplicity.
