    Cygwin: fhandler_termios::tcsetpgrp: check that argument is non-negative
    
    Return -1 with EINVAL if pgid < 0.
    
    Previously tcsetpgrp() would blindly go ahead and set the pgid of the
    controlling terminal to a negative value, causing later calls to
    various functions to fail.
    
    For example, gdb has code like the following:
    
      tcsetpgrp (0, getpgid (inf->pid));
    
    If getpgid (inf->pid) fails (returns -1), then this code would set the
    pgid of fd 0 to -1, so that some later calls to getpgid() would also
    return -1.  This caused the problem reported here:
