fix PTY allocation on Cygwin, broken by sshd split
Cygwin doesn't support FD passing and so used to disable post-auth privilege separation entirely because privsep requires PTY allocation to happen in the privileged monitor process with the PTY file descriptors being passed back to the unprivileged process. This brings back a minimal version of the previous special treatment for Cygwin (and any other platform that sets DISABLE_FD_PASSING): privilege separation remains enabled, but PTY allocation happens in the post-auth user process rather than the monitor. This either requires PTY allocation to not need privilege to begin with (this appears to be the case on Cygwin), or the post-auth privsep process retain privilege (other platforms that set the DISABLE_FD_PASSING option). Keeping privileges here is bad, but the non-Cygwin systems that set DISABLE_FD_PASSING are so deeply legacy that this is likely to be the least of their problems.
