This won't work with Windows named pipes -based control interface.
wpa_ctrl_get_fd() is just returning -1 to indicate an error. If you
want to use WaitForSingleObject to wait for events, you would at least
need to change wpa_ctrl_get_fd() to return the file handle. Though, I'm
not sure whether that would work without issues with named pipes.
Another option is to use overlapped read/write in the same way as
wpa_supplicant is doing in ctrl_iface_named_pipe.c.
