When the cursor position report ("CSI m;n R") is transferred from
cyg-pipe to nat-pipe, it is undesirably converted into Fn3 key by
pseudo console. This patch adds a workaround to prevent this
unintended conversion for cursor position report by enabling
ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT flag temporarily.
