[PATCH] Cygwin: Allow to set SO_PEERCRED zero (v2)

[Mark Geisert <mark@maxrnd.com>]

The existing code errors as EINVAL any attempt to set a value for
SO_PEERCRED via setsockopt() on an AF_UNIX/AF_LOCAL socket.  But to
enable the workaround set_no_getpeereid behavior for Python one has
to be able to set SO_PEERCRED to zero.  Ergo, this patch.  Python has
no way to specify a NULL pointer for 'optval'.

This v2 of patch allows the original working (i.e., allow NULL,0 for
optval,optlen to mean turn off SO_PEERCRED) in addition to the new
working described above.  The sense of the 'if' stmt is reversed for
readability.
