    Cygwin: pipes: fix POSIX requirement for non-blocking pipe writes
    
    POSIX requires atomicity for non-blocking writes <= PIPE_BUF bytes
    and writing of at least 1 byte if any buffer space is left.
    Windows NtWriteFile returns STATUS_SUCCESS and "0 bytes written"
    if the write doesn't match buffer space.  Fix this discrepancy.
