    Cygwin: timerfd: add a sleep when being debugged
    
    A sleep is required on Windows 10 64 bit only before calling
    RegisterClassW in the timerfd thread, and only when running
    under strace.  One of the child processes inheriting the timerfd
    descriptor will get a STATUS_FLOAT_INEXACT_RESULT exception inside
    of msvcrt.dll.  It's apparently some timing problem.  It occurs
    in 4 out of 5 runs under strace only.  WOW64 and Windows 7 64 bit
    don't have this problem.
