- Currently, raw_read(), raw_write() and close() release select_sem
unconditionally even if no waiter for select_sem exists. With this
patch, only the minimum number of semaphores required is released.
- Usually WriteQuotaAvailable retrieved by NtQueryInformationFile()
on the write side reflects the space available in the inbound buffer
on the read side. However, if a pipe read is currently pending,
WriteQuotaAvailable on the write side is decremented by the number
of bytes the read side is requesting. So it's possible (even likely)
that WriteQuotaAvailable is 0, even if the inbound buffer on the
read side is not full. This can lead to a deadlock situation:
The reader is waiting for data, but select on the writer side
assumes that no space is available in the read side inbound buffer.
Currently, to avoid this stuation, read() does not request larger
block than pipe size - 1. However, this mechanism does not take
effect if the reader side is non-cygwin app.
The only reliable information is available on the read side, so
fetch info from the read side via the pipe-specific query handle
(query_hdl) introduced.
If the query_hdl (read handle) is kept in write side, writer can
not detect closure of read pipe. Therefore, raw_write() counts
write handle and query_hdl. If they are equal, only the pairs of
write handle and query_hdl are alive. In this case, raw_write()
returns EPIPE and raises SIGPIPE.
- Nonblocking pipes (PIPE_NOWAIT) are not well handled by non-Cygwin
tools, so convert pipe handles to PIPE_WAIT handles when spawning
a non-Cygwin process.
We already fetched the correct SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES at the start of
fhandler_pipe::create, so using another SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES object for
the mutex and semaphore objects doesn't make much sense.

select_sem gets created on the read side with inheritence settings
depending on the O_CLOEXEC flag. Then it gets duplicated to the write
side with unconditional inheritence. Fix that.

Fold all code branches potentially having read or written data into
a single if branch, so signalling select_sem catches all cases.

Rename fhandler_pipe_and_fifo::max_atomic_write to pipe_buf_size.
This reflect its actual meaning better. The fhandler_pipe_and_fifo
constructor initializes it to DEFAULT_PIPEBUFSIZE (== 64K), which is
the buffer size for the windows pipes created by fhandler_pipe and
fhandler_fifo. But if we inherit a stdio pipe handle from a
non-Cygwin process, the buffer size could be different.
To remedy this, add a method fhandler_pipe::set_pipe_buf_size that
queries the OS for the pipe buffer size, and use it in
dtable::init_std_file_from_handle.
Given we return 1 already if WriteQuotaAvailable is > 0, the condition
for tiny pipes is never true. Fix the comments.

In blocking mode, the underlying IO must always be terminated,
one way or the other, to make sure the application knows the exact
state after returning from the IO function. Therefore, always call
CancelIo in blocking mode.

Just cancelling a thread doesn't cancel async IO started by this thread.
Fix this by returning from cygwait and calling CancelIo before canceling
self.

- By guarding read with read_mtx, no more than one ReadFile can
be called simultaneously. So couting read handles is no longer
necessary.
- Make raw_read code as similar as possible to raw_write code.
This is a parent of fhandler_pipe and fhandler_fifo for code that is
common between the two classes. Currently it just contains
max_atomic_write and raw_write(). The latter is identical to what
used to be fhandler_pipe::raw_write().
FILE_PIPE_LOCAL_INFORMATION::WriteQuotaAvailable is unreliable.
Usually WriteQuotaAvailable on the write side reflects the space
available in the inbound buffer on the read side. However, if a
pipe read is currently pending, WriteQuotaAvailable on the write side
is decremented by the number of bytes the read side is requesting.
So it's possible (even likely) that WriteQuotaAvailable is 0, even
if the inbound buffer on the read side is not full. This can lead to
a deadlock situation: The reader is waiting for data, but select
on the writer side assumes that no space is available in the read
side inbound buffer.
This patch implements a workaround by never trying to read more than
half the buffer size blocking if the read buffer is empty. This first
cut tries to take the number of open readers into account by reducing
the amount of requested bytes accordingly.

POSIX requires atomicity for non-blocking writes <= PIPE_BUF bytes
and writing of at least 1 byte if any buffer space is left.
Windows NtWriteFile returns STATUS_SUCCESS and "0 bytes written"
if the write doesn't match buffer space. Fix this discrepancy.

The buffer pointer is incremented by "chunk", which is what we
typically try to write, but this isn't what actually got written.
Increment the buffer pointer by what we actually wrote, as returned
by NtWriteFile.

get_obj_handle_count() is used in flock only so far, but pipe
handling might have a usage, too, soon. Given that this function
might be generally useful and isn't restricted to flock usage,
move it to miscfuncs.cc and make it non-static. Add a prototype
in miscfuncs.h.

I wasted valuable minutes of my life just to find out why we export
this weird version of pipe. In the pre-2000 era the idea was Cygwin
could be used as drop-in replacement for msvcrt.dll, apparently.

The read handles of pipes created by CreateNamedPipe don't have
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access unless the pipe is created with
PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX. This causes set_pipe_non_blocking to fail on such
handles. To fix this, add a helper function nt_create, which uses
NtCreateNamedPipeFile instead of CreateNamedPipe and gives us more
flexibility in setting access rights.
Use this helper function in fhandler_pipe::create (fhandler_pipe *[2],
unsigned, int), which is the version of fhandler_pipe::create used by
the pipe and pipe2 system calls.
For convenience, also add a static member function
fhandler_pipe::npfs_handle similar to those used by fhandler_fifo and
fhandler_socket_unix.
Add methods 'set_pipe_non_blocking' and 'fcntl' to keep the blocking
mode of the Windows pipe in sync with that of the fhandler_pipe
object. This applies to pipes created with the 'pipe' and 'pipe2'
system calls.
Previously fhandler_pipe was derived from fhandler_base_overlapped,
which we are going to remove in a future commit. Make minimal changes
so that the build still succeeds.
There are a few files that are tied to the GNU simulator, so add myself
to match the general sim project.
Also add myself to the general write-after-approval since I've been doing
that for a long time now anyways :).

Brian pointed out that initializing the structure would be more
future proof, should the developers at Microsoft ever decide to
split the Reserved field and use some bits of the struct for
other purposes.
