Corinna Vinschen 60675f1a7e Cygwin: decouple shared mem regions from Cygwin DLL
Another reason ASLR may fail is the coupling of the standard shared
mem regions (global, userinfo, process info, shared console) to the
address of the Cygwin DLL.  They are always placed in fixed addresses
preceeding the Cygwin DLL's address.  With ASLR this is bound to fail.

Use a fixed, unused memory area to place the shared mem regions.
This also allows to simplify the shared memory creation.  There's
no reason anymore to rebase the regions and rather than offsets,
just use the addresses directly.
