This doesn't add a new feature to gdb, just (belatedly) makes it work on 
x86_64 Cygwin as it does on x86 cygwin.

What would you suggest adding to NEWS?

No changes should be needed to the existing documentation of debugging 
using core files (since there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour 
when using Cygwin core dumps)

What else do you think needs documenting?
