RtlFillMemory and RtlCopyMemory only work for size values
up to 2GB. Fix this problem by using NetBSD code for
memset and memcpy. Add entry points for memmove, wmemset,
wmemmove, wmemcpy. Thanks to Roman Petrovski
<RPetrovski@illumina.com> for pointing this out.
* miscfuncs.cc (memset): x86_64 only: Implement in assembler.

glibc's tst-makecontext2 testcase uncovered a bug in
__cont_link_context. If the function misses to reserve
shadow space for the calls to setcontext/cygwin_exit,
both functions could overwrite memory beyond the stack
configured in uc_stack.
* exceptions.cc (__cont_link_context): x86_64: align stack and reserve
shadow space for subsequent function calls, otherwise suffer potential
buffer overflow.

(pthread_wrapper): Set thread stack guarantee according to guardsize.
Tweak assembler code so that $rax/$eax is not required by GCC to
prepare the wrapper_arg value.
(CygwinCreateThread): Fix deadzone handling. Drop setting a "POSIX"
guardpage (aka page w/ PAGE_NOACCESS). Always use Windows guard
pages instead. On post-XP systems (providing SetThreadStackGuarantee)
always set up stack Windows like with reserved/commited areas and
movable guard pages. Only on XP set up stack fully commited if the

calling the signal handler on an alternate stack to handle a stack
