setup 2.936 release candidate - please test

A new setup release candidate is available at:

  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.936.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)

Please test, and report any problems here.

Changes compared to 2.935:

- Fix a crash when the '--build-depends' option names a package with 
only test versions.

- Better tolerate file mismatches on a mirror by falling back through 
alternate compression types when the package manifest has a missing or 
invalid signature.

- Defer to the base-files package to create Cygwin.bat. (setup stopped 
making a shortcut to this file when mintty became the default terminal 
in 2011. The version that base-files creates is relocatable.)
