What is the official cygwin way to find a free drive letter, which can
be used in a script to mount a drive?
Just use the Windows UNC network path directly on Cygwin with '/' not '\'.
For Windows, it may still be NET USE * \\... but have not used it in decades!
Cygwin should pick it up and automount it under /proc/cygdrive/?/ but see
disclaimer above.
