Corinna Vinschen 170e6badb6 Cygwin: pipe: improve writing when pipe buffer is almost full
So far fhandler_pipe_fifo::raw_write always returns -1/EINTR
if a signal arrived.  Linux does not do that if there's still
space left in the pipe buffer.

The Linux buffer handling can't be emulated by Cygwin, but we
can do something similar which makes it much more likely to still
write successfully even if the buffer is almost full.

Utilize pipe_data_available to return valid pipe buffer usage
to raw_write, allowing a more sophisticated way to fill the
buffer while maintaining comaptibility with non-Cygwin pipes.
