Does Cygwin have an API to atomically create a new file with an ACL?

I don't think there's such an API in POSIX. Instead it's the purpose of
the directory default ACL entries to support this.
While the manual pages of setfacl/getfacl are lousy, a fairly lucid
description is in 7.6. POSIX Access Control Lists | Administration Guide
| Red Hat Gluster Storage | 3 | Red Hat Documentation
<https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_gluster_storage/3/html/administration_guide/sect-posix_access_control_lists>.
