    Cygwin: enable usage of FIFOs on NFS
    
    FIFOs on NFS were never recogized as such in path handling.
    
    stat(2) indicated native FIFOs as FIFOs but the path handling
    code didn't set the matching values in the inner symlink checking
    code, so the followup behaviour was wrong.
    
    Basically for the same reason, Cygwin-created FIFOs were just treated
    as symlinks with weird content by stat(2) as well as path handling.
    
    Add code to enable both types of FIFOs on NFS as Cygwin FIFOs.
