    Cygwin: pty: Add new workaround for rlwrap in pcon enabled mode
    
    In Windows 11, the command "rlwrap cmd" outputs garbaged screen.
    This is because rlwrap treats text between NLs as a line, while
    pseudo console sometimes omits NL before "CSIm;nH". This issue
    does not happen in Windows 10. This patch fixes the issue by
    adding CR NL before "CSIm:nH" into the output from the pseudo
    console if the OS is Windows 11.
