Johannes Schindelin 2e9934c695 msys2-runtime: Fix stdio with app execution aliases (Microsoft Store applications) (#5932)
When I introduced support for executing Microsoft Store applications through their "app execution aliases", I had missed that it failed to spawn the process with the correct handles to the terminal, breaking interactive usage of, say, the Python interpreter.

This corresponds to https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/pull/322

Subject: [PATCH 40/N] Cygwin: is_console_app(): do handle errors
When that function was introduced in bb4285206207 (Cygwin: pty: Implement
new pseudo console support., 2020-08-19) (back then, it was added to
`spawn.cc`, later it was moved to `fhandler/termios.cc` in 32d6a6cb5f1e
(Cygwin: pty, console: Encapsulate spawn.cc code related to
pty/console., 2022-11-19)), it was implemented with strong assumptions
that neither creating the file handle nor reading 1024 bytes from said
handle could fail.
This assumption, however, is incorrect. Concretely, I encountered the
case where `is_console_app()` needed to open an app execution alias,
failed to do so, and still tried to read from the invalid handle.
Let's add some error handling to that function.
Fixes: bb4285206207 (Cygwin: pty: Implement new pseudo console support., 2020-08-19)
