Ken Brown a9e945501d Cygwin: FIFO: allow any reader to take ownership
Add a take_ownership method, used by raw_read and select.cc:peek_fifo.
It wakes up all fifo_reader_threads and allows the caller to become
owner.  The work is done by the fifo_reader_threads.

For synchronization we introduce several new fhandler_fifo data
members and methods:

- update_needed_evt signals the current owner to stop listening for
  writer connections and update its fc_handler list.

- shared_fc_handler() gets and sets the status of the fc_handler
  update process.

- get_pending_owner() and set_pending_owner() get and set the reader
  that is requesting ownership.

Finally, a new 'reading_lock' prevents two readers from trying to take
ownership simultaneously.
