Ken Brown 606baf5566 Cygwin: FIFO: designate one reader as owner
Among all the open readers of a FIFO, one is declared to be the owner.
This is the only reader that listens for client connections, and it is
the only one that has an accurate fc_handler list.

Add shared data and methods for getting and setting the owner, as well
as a lock to prevent more than one reader from accessing these data
simultaneously.

Modify the fifo_reader_thread so that it checks the owner at the
beginning of its loop.  If there is no owner, it takes ownership.  If
there is an owner but it is a different reader, the thread just waits
to be canceled.  Otherwise, it listens for client connections as
before.

Remove the 'first' argument from create_pipe_instance.  It is not
needed, and it may be confusing in the future since only the owner
knows whether a pipe instance is the first.

When opening a reader, don't return until the fifo_reader_thread has
time to set an owner.

If the owner closes, indicate that there is no longer an owner.

Clear the child's fc_handler list in dup, and don't bother duplicating
the handles.  The child never starts out as owner, so it can't use
those handles.

Do the same thing in fixup_after_fork in the close-on-exec case.  In
the non-close-on-exec case, the child inherits an fc_handler list that
it can't use, but we can just leave it alone; the handles will be
closed when the child is closed.
