Cygwin: define fhandler_fifo::fstat
Previously fstat on a FIFO would call fhandler_base::fstat.
The latter is not appropriate if fhandler_fifo::open has already been
called (and O_PATH is not set), for the following reason. If a FIFO
has been opened as a writer or duplexer, then it has an io_handle that
is a pipe handle rather than a file handle. fhandler_base::fstat will
use this handle and potentially return incorrect results. If the FIFO
has been opened as a reader, then it has no io_handle, and a call to
fhandler_base::fstat will lead to a call to fhandler_base::open.
Opening the fhandler a second time can change it in undesired ways;
for example, it can modify the flags and status_flags.
The new fhandler_fifo::fstat avoids these problems by creating an
fhandler_disk_file and calling its fstat method in case
fhandler_fifo::open has already been called and O_PATH is not set.
This scenario circumventing the mount point handling which is automated
in terms of /, depending on the path returned from GetModuleFileNameW
for the Cygwin DLL. When calling D:\cygwin64\bin\bash the dir returned
from GetModuleFileNameW is D:\cygwin64\bin, thus root is D:\cygwin64.
However, junctions are treated as symlinks in Cygwin which explains why
the path gets converted to a cygdrive path.
Fix this by calling GetFinalPathNameByHandleW on the result from
GetModuleFileNameW to get the correct root path, even if accessed via
a junction point.

Complete revert of 2019-08-19, st_atime in libc/include/sys/stat.h
The revert-part of the revert-and-fix commit, b99887c4283f a.k.a.
"Revert previous change to sys/stat.h and fix cris libgloss",
apparently intending to revert f75aa6785151 a.k.a. "Fix regression in
cris-elf caused by sys/stat.h change" and fix it in another way,
wasn't complete. Although the fix-part added the prerequisite "#undef
st_atime" (et al) to gensyscalls, the revert-part didn't revert the
"&& !defined(__cris__)" in sys/stat.h, stopping st_atime (et al) from
being defined.
The effect of the unreverted change is that accessing the struct stat
compatibility member names "st_atime" (et al) as in "struct stat
mystat; mystat.st_atime;" yields errors, observable for example when
building libgfortran in gcc:
/x/gcc/libgfortran/intrinsics/stat.c:114:42: error: 'struct stat' has \
no member named 'st_atime'; did you mean 'st_atim'?
114 | sarray->base_addr[8 * stride] = sb.st_atime;
| ^~~~~~~~
| st_atim
(etc.)
Trivially fixed by completing the reversion, removing the "&&
!defined(__cris__)" in sys/stat.h.
Beware: the net effect of the earlier related change to struct stat in
sys/stat.h, leading up to the fix, *does* change its definition as a
type. Thankfully, replacing members like "time_t st_atime; long
st_spare1;" by "struct timespec st_atim;", ditto st_mtim and st_ctim,
is layout-compatible. To wit, that change is "binary compatible".

powf(0x1.ffffeep-1,-0x1.000002p+27) which returns +Inf instead of the
correct value). We found 2 more values for x which show the same faulty
behaviour, and all 3 are fixed with this patch. We have tested all
combinations for x in [+1.fffdfp-1, +1.00020p+0] and y in
[-1.000007p+27, -1.000002p+27] and [1.000002p+27,1.000007p+27].
