[newlib-cygwin/topic/posix_acl_funcs] cygwin_logon_user: Return non-privileged token as well

    cygwin_logon_user: Return non-privileged token as well
    
    	If the calling process doesn't have sufficient privileges to
    	fetch the linked token of an admin-user token, cygwin_logon_user
    	fails.  This patch changes that by returning the original,
    	unprivileged token of the admin user to allow authentication
    	and calling setuid for the current process.
