Windows GHA builds fail due to broken Cygwin

        This is seen in GHA Windows builds:

        Building configuration 'windows-x64' (matching CONF_NAME=windows-x64)
        Building configuration 'windows-x64' (matching CONF_NAME=windows-x64)

        Compiling 8 files for BUILD_TOOLS_LANGTOOLS
        Compiling 1 files for BUILD_TOOLS_HOTSPOT
        Compiling 12 properties into resource bundles for jdk.jdeps

        I am able to reproduce it in my local Windows VM, so this must be something in OpenJDK/Cygwin, rather than in GH infrastructure.

        At this point I believe the recent Cygwin is broken. My machines have recently updated and started to fail. I downgraded "cygwin" and "cygwin-devel" packages, and the build works again. The last version that works is apparently 3.2.0. The first version that is broken is apparently 3.3.0. GHA always checks out the most recent Cygwin, which currently pulls {cygwin,cygwin-devel}:3.3.2.

        The hypothesis that Cygwin is broken is also corroborated by sightings of the same failure in 17u and 11u forests, which do not have a lot of changes backported from mainline:
          https://github.com/shipilev/jdk17u/runs/4137529809?check_suite_focus=true
          https://github.com/shipilev/jdk11u-dev/runs/4136989053?check_suite_focus=true

        Unfortunately, Cygwin setup does not allow (?) specifying package versions, which means it is hard to workaround.
