Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:
- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly. Some POSIX applications choke
on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.
- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
(depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.
- After an execve, the process has a split personality: Its Windows PID
is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
process. This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
one.
This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:
- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
expected by POSIX processes. The PIDs are created incrementally in
the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.
- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
unpredictable. This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.
- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
PID. This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.
- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.
- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
interfaces getting a Windows PID.

- This simple and official method replaces cyglsa and "create token"
methods. No network share access, same as before.
- lsaauth and create_token are disabled now. If problems crop up,
they can be easily reactivated. If no problems crop up, they
can be removed in a while, together with the lsaauth subdir.
- Bump Cygwin version to 3.0.

First cut of a timerfd implementation.
Still TODO:
- fork/exec semantics
- timerfd_settime TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET flag
- ioctl(TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS)
- bug fixes

First cut of a signalfd implementation.
Still TODO: Non-polling select.
This should mostly work as on Linux except for missing support
for some members of struct signalfd_siginfo, namely ssi_fd,
ssi_band (both SIGIO/SIGPOLL, not fully implemented) and ssi_trapno
(HW exception, required HW support).

Remove union wait [BZ #19613]
The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.

Updates to misc files to integrate AIO into the Cygwin source tree.
Much of it has to be done when adding any new syscalls. There are
some updates to limits.h for AIO-specific limits. And some doc mods.
