Cygwin: Try to fix potential data corruption in pipe write
* fhandler.cc (fhandler_base_overlapped::raw_write): When performing nonblocking I/O, copy user space data into own buffer. Add longish comment to explain why. * fhandler.h (fhandler_base_overlapped::atomic_write_buf): New member. (fhandler_base_overlapped::fhandler_base_overlapped): Initialize atomic_write_buf. (fhandler_base_overlapped::fhandler_base_overlapped): New destructor, free'ing atomic_write_buf. (fhandler_base_overlapped::copyto): Set atomic_write_buf to NULL in copied fhandler.
