[PATCH] use /dev/fd on Cygwin for process substitution

[Jun T <takimoto-j@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tests C04 and D03 fail on Cygwin:

Was testing: FDs remain open for external commands called from functions

As can be seen, both are related with the process substitution.
On Cygwin, FIFO (not /dev/fd) is used for the process substitution
because PATH_DEV_FD is unset in configure.ac, line 2062:

[if test "$host_os" = cygwin; then
dnl In current (2008/12/01) versions of Cygwin these are present but don't
dnl seem to work smoothly for process substitution; no great surprise
dnl since getting processes to work at all on Cygwin is a big challenge.
dnl We'll rely on FIFOs, since they do what we need.
zsh_cv_sys_path_dev_fd=no

If I remove this part (as in the patch below) the two tests succeed.
So I *guess* /dev/fd is now working as expected on Cygwin.
(maybe there are some race conditions for FIFO)

In the patch I also removed the cygwin-specific section for FIFO
since on recent Cygwin configure can correctly detect FIFO without it
(although FIFO is not used if PATH_DEV_FD is set).
