Cygwin: FIFO: improve taking ownership in fifo_reader_thread
When a reader takes ownership in fifo_reader_thread, it now goes

Previously it went back to the beginning of the loop.
Also, if the reader has to delay taking ownership because the previous

now checks to see if cancel_evt has been set. Previously it might

Cygwin: FIFO: reduce I/O interleaving
Add a bool member 'last_read' to the fifo_client_handler structure,
which is set to true on a successful read. This is used by raw_read
as follows.
When raw_read is called, it first locates the writer (if any) for
which last_read is true. raw_read tries to read from that writer and
returns if there is input available. Otherwise, it proceeds to poll
all the writers, as before.
The effect of this is that if a writer writes some data that is only
partially read, the next attempt to read will continue to read from
the same writer. This should reduce the interleaving of output from
different writers.

Cygwin: FIFO: keep a writer count in shared memory
When a reader opens, it needs to block if there are no writers open
(unless is is opened with O_NONBLOCK). This is easy for the first
reader to test, since it can just wait for a writer to signal that it
is open (via the write_ready event). But when a second reader wants
to open, all writers might have closed.
To check this, use a new '_nwriters' member of struct fifo_shmem_t,
which keeps track of the number of open writers. This should be more
reliable than the previous method.
Add nwriters_lock to control access to shmem->_nwriters, and remove
reader_opening_lock, which is no longer needed.
Previously only readers had access to the shared memory, but now
writers access it too so that they can increment _nwriters during
open/dup/fork/exec and decrement it during close.
Add an optional 'only_open' argument to create_shmem for use by
writers, which only open the shared memory rather than first trying to
create it. Since writers don't need to access the shared memory until
they have successfully connected to a pipe instance, they can safely
assume that a reader has already created the shared memory.
For debugging purposes, change create_shmem to return 1 instead of 0
when a reader successfully opens the shared memory after finding that
it had already been created.
Remove check_write_ready_evt, write_ready_ok_evt, and
check_write_ready(), which are no longer needed.
When opening a writer and looping to try to get a connection, recheck
read_ready at the top of the loop since the number of readers might
have changed.
To slightly speed up the process of opening the first reader, take
ownership immediately rather than waiting for the fifo_reader_thread
to handle it.

Re: CPU microcode reported wrong in /proc/cpuinfo
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin/2020-May/245063.html
earlier Windows releases used different registry values to store microcode
revisions depending on the MSR name being used to get microcode revisions:
add these alternative registry values to the cpuinfo registry value lookup;
iterate thru the registry data until a valid microcode revision is found;
some revision values are in the high bits, so if the low bits are all clear,
shift the revision value down into the low bits
sys_mbstowcs is called with the destination buffer length
set to MaximumLength from the receiving UNICODE_STRING buffer.
This is twice as much as the actual size of the buffer in
wchar_t units, which is the unit expected by sys_mbstowcs.
sys_mbstowcs always attaches a NUL, within the destination
buffersize given. But if the string is exactly one wchar_t
less than the actual buffer, and the buffersize is given too
large, sys_mbstowcs writes a NUL one wchar_t beyond the buffer.
This has only been exposed with Cygwin 3.1.5 because alloca
on newer gcc 9 apparently allocates more tightly. The alloca
buffer here is requested with 16 bytes, which is exactly the
number of bytes required for the string L"cmd.exe". Older gcc
apparently allocated a few more bytes on the stack, while gcc 9
allocates in 16 byte granularity...
Fix this by giving the correct destination buffer size to
sys_mbstowcs.

Although we can have multiple readers open because of dup/fork/exec,
the current code does not support multiple readers opening a FIFO by

The main complication in supporting this is that when a blocking

whether there any writers open. It can't rely on the write_ready
event, whose state hasn't changed since the first writer opened.
To fix this, add two new named events, check_write_ready_evt and
write_ready_ok_evt, and a new method, check_write_ready().
The first event signals the owner's reader thread to call
check_write_ready(), which polls the fc_handler list to check for
connected writers. If it finds none, it checks to see if there's a
writer in the process and then sets/resets write_ready appropriately.
When check_write_ready() finishes it sets write_ready_ok_evt to signal
the reader that write_ready has been updated.
The polling is done via fifo_client_handler::pipe_state(). As long as

EOF if there are no connected writers after polling. Then check for
writers currently opening (via a new 'writer_opening' event), and wait
for the fifo_reader_thread to record any new connection that was made
while we were polling.
To handle the needs of peek_fifo, replace the get_fc_handle method
by a get_fc_handler method, and add a fifo_client_handler::get_state
method.
Remove the is_connected method, which was used only in peek_fifo and
is no longer needed.
Remove the nconnected data member, which was used only for the flawed
hit_eof.
