There was a long-standing issue that pseudo console ownership could
not hand over from the process whose ctty is /dev/cons* rather than
/dev/pty*. This problem happens when a cygwin app starts non-cygwin
app in a pty, then the non-cygwin app starts multiple cygwin apps,
and the non-cygwin app ends before the second cygwin apps end.
In this case, the stub process of the non-cygwin app hands over the
ownership of pcon to one of the second cygwin apps, however, this
app does not hand over the ownership of pcon to another second
cygwin app. This is due to the fact that the hand-over feature is
implemented only in fhandler_pty_slave but not in fhandler_console.
With this patch, the second cygwin apps check if their console device
is inside a pseudo console, and if so, it tries to hand over the
ownership of the pseudo console to anther process that is attached
to the same pseudo console.

Previously, if two or more processes request to allocate a console at
the same time, the same device number could be accidentally allocated.
This patch fixes the issue by creating a named mutex (input_mutex) and
checking if GetLastError() is ERROR_ALREADY_EXIST or not to ensure
the unit number will be allocated in an atomic way. Thanks to this,
EnumWindow() is not necessary anymore to scan console units.
This also makes minor device numbers unique and console devices visible
across sessions. This disallows duplicated device number for different
sessions, so the MAX_CONS_DEV has been increased from 64 to 128.
Additionally, the console allocation and scanning will be faster as
a side effect of eliminating EnumWindows().

(cherry picked from commit 10477d95ec401213d5bded5ae3600ab0d2d5ed94)
This patch replaces ctty constants with more descriptive macros
(CTTY_UNINITIALIZED and CTTY_RELEASED) rather than -1 and -2 as
well as checking sign with CTTY_IS_VALID().
