Cygwin: dll_init: Always call __cxa_finalize() for DLL_LOAD
For dlopen()'ed DLL, __cxa_finalize() should always be called at dll
detach time. The reason is as follows. In the case that dlopen()'ed
DLL A is dlclose()'ed in the destructor of DLL B, and the destructor
of DLL B is called in exit_state, DLL A will be unloaded by dlclose().
If __cxa_finalize() for DLL A is not called here, the destructor of
DLL A will be called in exit() even though DLL A is already unloaded.
This causes crash at exit(). In this case, __cxa_finalize() should be
called before unloading DLL A even in exit_state.
