Due to reports on the Cygwin mailing list[1][2], it was uncovered
that a NtOpenDirectoryObject/NtQueryDirectoryObject/NtClose sequence
with NtQueryDirectoryObject iterating over the directory entries,
one entry per invocation, is not running atomically. If new entries
are inserted into the queried directory, other entries may be moved
around and then accidentally show up twice while iterating.
Change (almost) all NtQueryDirectoryObject invocations so that it gets
a really big buffer (64K) and ideally fetches all entries at once.
This appears to work atomically.
"Almost" all, because fhandler_procsys::readdir can't be easily changed.
