Cygwin Changes from lua-5.3.6-3

Added a workaround to postinstall/preremove scripts
in case CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict is specified.

In such cases, postinstall/preremove scripts temporarily override
CYGWIN with CYGWIN="${CYGWIN} winsymlinks:native" [1]. And comments
about it are printed, so that we can see them in 'setup.full.log'.

Note: From lua-5.3.6-2, some files come with version number:
 e.g: lua5.3.exe, which is symlinked from lua by alternatives.
