Corinna Vinschen bb96bd03b0 Cygwin: fix buffer overrun in cygwin_strcasecmp
sys_mbstowcs is called with the destination buffer length
set to MaximumLength from the receiving UNICODE_STRING buffer.
This is twice as much as the actual size of the buffer in
wchar_t units, which is the unit expected by sys_mbstowcs.

sys_mbstowcs always attaches a NUL, within the destination
buffersize given.  But if the string is exactly one wchar_t
less than the actual buffer, and the buffersize is given too
large, sys_mbstowcs writes a NUL one wchar_t beyond the buffer.

This has only been exposed with Cygwin 3.1.5 because alloca
on newer gcc 9 apparently allocates more tightly.  The alloca
buffer here is requested with 16 bytes, which is exactly the
number of bytes required for the string L"cmd.exe".  Older gcc
apparently allocated a few more bytes on the stack, while gcc 9
allocates in 16 byte granularity...

Fix this by giving the correct destination buffer size to
sys_mbstowcs.
