    Cygwin: Do not show Error dialogs by default
    
    ...in a non-Cygwin child process.  Backported from MSYS2.
    Downstream commit message follows.
    
    In https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/pull/18, we discussed a change
    that would allow default Windows error handling of spawned processes to
    kick in (such as registered JIT debuggers). We even agreed that it would
    make sense to hide this functionality behind a flag, `winjitdebug`.
    
    However, when this got upstreamed as 21ec498d7f (cygwin: use
    CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE in spawn, 2020-12-09), that flag was deemed
    unnecessary.
    
    But it would appear that it _is_ necessary: As reported in
    https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/2414#issuecomment-810841296
    this new behavior is pretty disruptive e.g. in CI scenarios.
    
    So let's introduce that `winjitdebug` flag (settable via the environment
    variable `MSYS`) at long last.
