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.
