Update cygwin script.
Recent versions of the cygwin X11 server come with a startup script
that explicitly uses '-nolisten tcp' for improved security. This means
that mentioning a host part in the DISPLAY variable precludes correct
operation. So, leave blank the host part such that only local connections
are attempted. Even if a user can override this setting in the own
~/.lyxprofile, novice users (and even experienced ones, at first) would be
probably confused by the "Error: Can't open display: localhost:0" message
and thus it is better to make this work out of the box.
