[PATCH] Cygwin: FIFO: avoid hang after exec

- Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: FIFO: avoid hang after exec
Define fhandler:fifo::fixup_after_exec, which sets listen_client_thr
and lct_termination_evt to NULL. This forces the listen_client thread
to restart on the first attempt to read after an exec. Previously the
exec'd process could hang in fhandler_fifo::raw_read.
