Slow startup time on AD joined PCs

[Cristi Anichitei]

This has been initially reported as a Git for Windows issue:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4459

But it has been tracked down to originate in the Cygwin project (see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4459#issuecomment-1580526636
and maybe
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4459#issuecomment-1602566700).

Using 3.4.6.1 (from
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-3.4.6-1-src.tar.xz),
running any program from /usr/bin takes at least 20 seconds, for example

$ .\ldd.exe --version
ldd (cygwin) 3.4.6

I have also tried this with 3.4.7 - same issue.

Using 3.1.7 there is no slow down. I haven't tried any versions between
3.1.7 and 3.4.7 yet, but I can do that.

I'm running Windows 10 21H2 (19044.3086).
