Cygwin is not a supported build platform for libvirt and
has no testing coverage in our CI systems. Stop pretending
the code is usable and remove it so there is less to port
to Meson.

Commit 97e70a5935 added the option -pie to
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, however '-pie' is just a linker option. That
wouldn't be a problem. However, clang is checking for that and outputs
an error or unused argument:
error: argument unused during compilation: '-pie'

GCC installed from FreeBSD ports doesn't support building PIE executables
and fails with:
/usr/local/bin/ld: /usr/lib/crt1.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`_DYNAMIC' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
/usr/lib/crt1.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
However, the configure check for '-fPIC -DPIC' doesn't catch that. In
order to catch this case, add '-pie' to CFLAGS in m4/virt-compile-pie.m4
so it could detect lack of PIE support on configure time and don't fail
the build.
On win32, all code is position independent and adding -fPIE
to the compiler flags results in warnings being printed

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.
