index-pack: work around thread-unsafe pread()
Multi-threaing of index-pack was disabled with c0f8654 (index-pack: Disable threading on cygwin - 2012-06-26), because pread() implementations for Cygwin and MSYS were not thread safe. Recent Cygwin does offer usable pread() and we enabled multi-threading with 103d530f (Cygwin 1.7 has thread-safe pread, 2013-07-19). Work around this problem on platforms with a thread-unsafe pread() emulation by opening one file handle per thread; it would prevent parallel pread() on different file handles from stepping on each other. Also remove NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD that was introduced in c0f8654 because it's no longer used anywhere. This workaround is unconditional, even for platforms with thread-safe pread() because the overhead is small (a couple file handles more) and not worth fragmenting the code.
