    Cygwin: pty: Add a workaround for issue of starting a lot of mintty.
    
    - If a lot of mintty are started in a short time from a mintty, some
      of them hang with empty screen, crash immediately or hang on exiting
      mintty. The following report seems to be related to this issue.
        https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-August/245751.html
      The cause is not clear at all, but this patch seems to solve the
      issue.
