MDEV-30836 MTR hangs after tests have completed
The problem is in manager/worker communication when worker sends WARNINGS and then TESTRESULT. If manager yet didn't read WARNINGS response both responses get into the same buffer, can_read() will indicate we have data only once and we must read all the data from the socket at once. Otherwise TESTRESULT response is lost and manager waits it forever. The fix now instead of single line reads the socket in a loop. But if there is only one response in the buffer the second read will be blocked waiting until new data arrives. That can be overcame by blocking(0) which sets the handle into non-blocking mode. If there is no data second read just returns undef. The problem is non-blocking mode is not supported by all perl flavors on Windows. Strawberry and ActiveState do not support it. Cygwin and MSYS2 do support. There is some ioctl() hack that was known to "work" but it doesn't do what is expected (it does not return data when there is data). So for Windows if it is not Cygwin we disable the fix.
