[commit] Ignore SEGVs from win32 IsBad* functions


There have been a number of complaints in the cygwin lists about
gdb's behavior with the win32 IsBad*Ptr calls.

This patch causes gdb to ignore notification of SEGV from within
those calls.

        * win32-nat.c (handle_exception): Treat win32 routines which check for
        valid addresses as "special" and don't stop when a SEGV is detected.
        (get_child_debug_event): Properly flag exception as unhandled.
