[newlib-cygwin] Open process with PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION to fetch maps


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;h=11dcf9cb5cf4f7f15799dedc9cdeab3cae0de64e

commit 11dcf9cb5cf4f7f15799dedc9cdeab3cae0de64e
Author: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

    Open process with PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION to fetch maps
    
    Commit ba58e5f lowered permission requirements when opening threads
    and processes to {PROCESS,THREAD}_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION.  However,
    when creating the /proc/<PID>/maps file, the call to VirtualQueryEx
    requires PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION access
    
    Note: It seems PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION is sufficient starting
    with Windows 8.1, but this is neither documented on MSDN, nor is it a
    safe bet.  It may have to do with a fixed implementation of the UAC
    trust levels.  Let's better follow the docs for now.
