[PATCH] Cygwin: spawn: Fix segfalt when too many command line args are specified.

[PATCH] Cygwin: spawn: Fix segfalt when too many command line args are specified.

[Takashi Yano]

Previously, the number of command line args was not checked for
cygwin process. Due to this, segmentation fault was caused if too
many command line args are specified.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-August/254333.html

Since char *argv[argc + 1] is placed on the stack in dll_crt0_1(),
STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW occurs if the stack does not have enough
space.

With this patch, the total length of the arguments is restricted to
1/4 of total stack size for the process, and spawnve() returns E2BIG if
the size exceeds the limit.
