Mark Geisert 87253cbe38 POSIX Asynchronous I/O support: fhandler files
This code is where the AIO implementation is wired into existing Cygwin
mechanisms for file and device I/O: the fhandler* functions.  It makes
use of an existing internal routine prw_open to supply a "shadow fd"
that permits asynchronous operations on a file the user app accesses
via its own fd.  This allows AIO to read or write at arbitrary locations
within a file without disturbing the app's file pointer.  (This was
already the case with normal pread|pwrite; we're just adding "async"
to the mix.)
