The new loop in open_shared has a subtil performance problem.
Next_address is bumped only if mapping at this address
failed. Every subsequent call to open_shared has a high probability
having to call MapViewOfFileEx twice, because next_address is still
set to the address of the last successful mapping.
Avoid this by bumping next_address every time.
While at it, fix a comment.

For fixed regions (cygwin/user/myself/shared console), try fixed
address first. Fallback to non-fixed region. Don't even try fixed
address if the Cygwin DLL gets dynamically loaded.
For non-fixed regions, try to allocate in a loop within the area
from SHARED_REGIONS_ADDRESS_LOW to SHARED_REGIONS_ADDRESS_HIGH.

Fix comments accordingly.
This is in preparation for a change in open_shared, handling shared
regions more cleanly.

For ages, open_shared uses the shared_locations parameter as
output to indicate if the mapping for a shared region has been
created or just opened. Split this into two parameters. Use
the shared_locations parameter as input only, return the creation
state of the mapping in a bool reference parameter.

Another reason ASLR may fail is the coupling of the standard shared
mem regions (global, userinfo, process info, shared console) to the
address of the Cygwin DLL. They are always placed in fixed addresses
preceeding the Cygwin DLL's address. With ASLR this is bound to fail.
Use a fixed, unused memory area to place the shared mem regions.
This also allows to simplify the shared memory creation. There's
no reason anymore to rebase the regions and rather than offsets,
just use the addresses directly.
