[PATCH 1/1] cygwin: use CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE in spawn

[Jeremy Drake <cygwin@jdrake.com>]

if a new CYGWIN/MSYS environment option `winjitdebug` is true, allowing
native subprocesses to get Windows-default error handling behavior (such
as invoking the registered JIT debugger).  Cygwin processes will quickly
set their error mode on start, so getting JIT debugging for them will
still require setting `error_start`.

This patch was previously submitted to MSYS2
(https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/pull/18) but it was suggested I
should try sending it upstream.
