    Cygwin: pty: Prevent deadlock on echo output.
    
    - If the slave process writes a lot of text output, doecho() can
      cause deadlock. This is because output_mutex is held in slave::
      write() and if WriteFile() is blocked due to pipe full, doecho()
      tries to acquire output_mutex and gets into deadlock. With this
      patch, the deadlock is prevented on the sacrifice of atomicity
      of doecho().
