    Cygwin: disable high-entropy VA for cygcheck and strace
    
    It's not a good idea to enable high-entropy VA for tools loading the
    Cygwin DLL dynamically.  The addresses used by HEVA tend to collide with
    fixed address areas managed by Cygwin.
    
    Fixes: 60675f1a7eb2 ("Cygwin: decouple shared mem regions from Cygwin DLL")
