On Linux, __progname and program_invocation_short_name are just
different exported names of the same string. Do the same in Cygwin.
This requires to tweak the mkglobals_h so as not to touch the
EXPORT_ALIAS expression. Also, use the base variable
program_invocation_short_name throughout. __progname is just
the export for getopt.

In commit 2dab880c96 I did a mistake when
I copied the new fhandler_serial::switch_modem_lines() from my modified
3.3.6 branch to the current master and I left a copy paste error. This
patch fixes that error.
Fixes: 2dab880c96 ("Cygwin: fix TIOCMBIS/TIOCMBIC not working when using usbser.sys")
In winsup/cygwin/fhandler/serial.cc, the function
fhandler_serial::switch_modem_lines() is called when TIOCMBIS/TIOCMBIC
are used in an ioctl() call.
This function uses EscapeCommFunction() for setting and resetting RTS
and DTR signals of a serial port. Unfortunately, this function does not
work on USB CDC devices.
This is not a true bug of CYGWIN but an issue of the usbser.sys driver,
from Windows 2000 to the latest Windows 11. Both 32bit and 64bit
versions of the operating system are affected. Actually, I tested
EscapeCommFunction() also when using a real UART, based on the
traditional 16550 driver and it works fine. Using thirdy party CDC
drivers, like the one provided by FTDI for their USB bridge chips,
probably also works.
However, it is also possible to drive the RTS/DTR signals by writing
their state with SetCommState(), which proved to be working fine all
types of connection. This is also a better solution for handling these
signals since RTS/DTR can be set at the same time rather than having two
separate calls with a visible delay between them.
