After the commit d243e51ef1d3, zsh sometimes hangs at startup. This
is because SIGCHLD is handled in cygwait() for a wakeup event even
when __SIGFLUSHFAST is sent, despite __SIGFLUSHFAST requiring to
return before handling the signal. With this patch, if the signal
sent is __SIGFLUSHFAST, do not handle the arrived signal and keep
it being asserted after the cygwait() for the wakeup event.

Fixes: d243e51ef1d3 ("Cygwin: signal: Fix deadlock between main thread and sig 
thread")
