Future Cygwin:: enhancements

[ #33662 ]

I just added cygpath style conversions to blead and now I'm wondering what other useful internal API's would be useful to be exported to perl starting with 5.10.

And if it should require the "use Cygwin;" importer. Probably so. The current list of 6 cygwin functions in core require no "use Cygwin;".

I came up with this list for a future Cygwin package:

cygserver_running() => bool CW_GETVERSIONINFO() => str CW_GET_CYGDRIVE_PREFIXES($user, $system) => flags as str CW_SET_CYGWIN_REGISTRY_NAME($path) CW_GET_CYGWIN_REGISTRY_NAME => str CW_STRACE_ACTIVE() => bool CW_EXTRACT_DOMAIN_AND_USER(\%pw) => (domain, user) CW_CMDLINE($pid) => str CW_CHECK_NTSEC($filename) => bool CW_GET_ERRNO_FROM_WINERROR($error, $deferrno) => int CW_GET_POSIX_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTE($attribute, \@psa) => \%sd CW_GET_SHMLBA() => GetSystemInfo.dwAllocationGranularity CW_GET_UID_FROM_SID($psid) => $uid CW_GET_GID_FROM_SID($psid) => $gid

Of course CW_ will be removed and properly lower cased. Look up sys/cygwin.h and/or winsup/external.cc for example.
