Cygwin: pipe: Switch pipe mode to blocking mode by default

Previously, cygwin read pipe used non-blocking mode although non-
cygwin app uses blocking-mode by default. Despite this requirement,
if a cygwin app is executed from a non-cygwin app and the cygwin
app exits, read pipe remains on non-blocking mode because of the
commit fc691d0246b9. Due to this behaviour, the non-cygwin app
cannot read the pipe correctly after that. Similarly, if a non-
cygwin app is executed from a cygwin app and the non-cygwin app
exits, the read pipe mode remains on blocking mode although cygwin
read pipe should be non-blocking mode.

These bugs were provoked by pipe mode toggling between cygwin and
non-cygwin apps. To make management of pipe mode simpler, this
patch has re-designed the pipe implementation. In this new
implementation, both read and write pipe basically use only blocking
mode and the behaviour corresponding to the pipe mode is simulated
in raw_read() and raw_write(). Only when NtQueryInformationFile
(FilePipeLocalInformation) fails for some reasons, the raw_read()/
raw_write() cannot simulate non-blocking access. Therefore, the pipe
mode is temporarily changed to non-blocking mode.

Moreover, because the fact that NtSetInformationFile() in
set_pipe_non_blocking(true) fails with STATUS_PIPE_BUSY if the pipe
is not empty has been found, query handle is not necessary anymore.
This allows the implementation much simpler than before.

Fixes: fc691d0246b9 ("Cygwin: pipe: Make sure to set read pipe non-blocking for cygwin apps.");
