[PATCH] Cygwin: use win pid+threadid for forkables dirname

Rather than newest last write time of all dlls loaded, use the forking
process' windows pid and windows thread id as directory name to create
the forkable hardlinks into.  While this may create hardlinks more
often, it does avoid conflicts between dlls not having the newest last
write time.
