Cygwin: console: re-enable the master thread before selecting cygwin input mode
When a cygwin program and a non-cygwin program run in the same foreground
process group (for example the pipeline `cat | ping`), Ctrl-C stopped
interrupting the cygwin program after "Cygwin: console: Ensure the master
thread runs only when it is supposed to".
The console only delivers Ctrl-C as a raw 0x03 byte (which the console
master thread reads and turns into a SIGINT for the foreground process
group) while that thread is live. When it is suspended or disabled,
set_input_mode (tty::cygwin) instead requests ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT,
so the console raises a CTRL_C_EVENT and the 0x03 byte never reaches
the master thread. The referenced commit reordered the two explicit
enable paths, bg_check () and post_open_setup (), and one path which
normally(*1) enables master thread, clearnup_for_non_cygwin_app(), so
that set_input_mode (tty::cygwin) runs while disable_master_thread is
still set; that leaves ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT on and the cygwin program
never receives its SIGINT.
(*1 ... except the process which calls exec() for non-cygwin app while
itself is the cons master. In this case, subsequent set_input_mode()
call sets the mode to tty::restore, and the master thread should be
kept 'disabled' until the process exits.)
Clear disable_master_thread before selecting cygwin input mode in those two
paths, so the mode is configured with the master thread already live and
ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT stays off. The disable paths and the synchronous
suspension that the referenced commit added are left unchanged, so
non-cygwin programs still get the master thread reliably suspended.
