    _dll_crt0: Drop incorrect check for being started from parent main thread
    
    This test was broken from the start.  It leads to creating a completely
    new stack for the main thread of the child process when started from
    the main thread of the parent.  However, the main thread of a process
    can easily running on a completely different stack, if the parent's main
    thread was created by calling fork() from a pthread.  For an example,
    see https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-03/msg00113.html
