[PATCH v7 1/7] Cygwin: console: Fix master thread

In Windows 11, key event with wRepeatCount == 0 is fixed-up to
wRepeatCount == 1 in conhost.exe. Due to this behaviour, inreq_eq()
returns false even though the two event records are the same. This
patch adds workaround for this behaviour in inrec_eq().

Fixes: ff4440fcf768 ("Cygwin: console: Introduce new thread which handles input signal.")
