Cygwin: timerfd: add a sleep when being debugged

A sleep is required on Windows 10 64 bit only before calling
RegisterClassW in the timerfd thread, and only when running
under strace.  One of the child processes inheriting the timerfd
descriptor will get a STATUS_FLOAT_INEXACT_RESULT exception inside
of msvcrt.dll.  It's apparently some timing problem.  It occurs
in 4 out of 5 runs under strace only.  WOW64 and Windows 7 64 bit
don't have this problem.
