simple-ipc: work around issues with Cygwin's Unix socket emulation
Cygwin emulates Unix sockets by writing files with custom contents and
then marking them as system files.
The tricky problem is that while the file is written and its `system`
bit is set, it is still identified as a file. This caused test failures
when Git is too fast looking for the Unix sockets and then complains
that there is a plain file in the way.
Let's work around this by adding a delayed retry loop, specifically for
Cygwin.
