    Cygwin: Don't dump non-writable image regions
    
    After this, we will end up dumping memory regions where:
    
    - state is MEM_COMMIT (i.e. is not MEM_RESERVE or MEM_FREE), and
    -- type is MEM_PRIVATE and protection allows reads (i.e. not a guardpage), or
    -- type is MEM_IMAGE and protection allows writes
    
    Making this decision based on the current protection isn't 100% correct,
    because it may have been changed using VirtualProtect().  But we don't
    know how to determine if a region is shareable.
    
    (As a practical matter, anything which gets us the stack (MEM_PRIVATE)
    and .data/.bss (RW MEM_IMAGE) is going to be enough for 99% of cases)
