Cygwin: Don't terminate via dumper
A process which is exiting due to a core dumping signal doesn't
propagate the correct exist status after dumping core, because 'dumper'
itself forcibly terminates the process.

Use 'dumper -n' to avoid killing the dumped process, so we continue to
the end of signal_exit(), to exit with the 128+signal exit status.

Busy-wait in exec_prepared_command() in an attempt to reliably notice
the dumper attaching, so we don't get stuck there.

Also: document these important facts for custom uses of error_start.
