    Cygwin: rename __sFILE to __sFILE64 for backward compatibility
    
    Until Cygwin 3.3.6, we define __LARGE64_FILES unconditionally, so we
    were using the type __sFILE64 even for 64 bit.  That was lazy and wrong.
    so commit 2902b3a09e0a ("Cygwin: drop requirement to build newlib's
    stdio64") tried to fix that.
    
    Unfortunately this patch forgot to take the exposure of the typename
    __sFILE64 in userspace into account.  This leads to trouble in C++ due
    to name mangling.
    
    Fix this by redefining __sFILE to __sFILE64.  The type name is very much
    internal, so it doesn't really matter, except for the fact that it needs
    to stay backward compatible so as not to break building against C++ libs
    built under older versions of Cygwin.
    
    Fixes: 2902b3a09e0a ("Cygwin: drop requirement to build newlib's stdio64")
