These files are deleted but not yet gone from the filesystem. Operations
on them will return ERROR_DELETE_PENDING.
With this we start treating that as ENOENT, meaning files does not
exist (which is the state it will soon reach). This should be safe in
every case except when we try to recreate a file with exactly the same
name. This is an operation that PostgreSQL does very seldom, so
hopefully that won't happen much -- and even if it does, this treatment
should be no worse than treating it as an unhandled error.
We've been un able to reproduce the bug reliably, so pushing this to
master to get buildfarm coverage and other testing. Once it's proven to
be stable, it should be considered for backpatching.

Patch by me and Michael Paquier
If logging is enabled, either ereport() or fprintf() might stomp on errno
internally, causing this function to return the wrong result. That might
only end in a misleading error report, but in any code that's examining
errno to decide what to do next, the consequences could be far graver.
This has been broken since the very first version of this file in 2006
... it's a bit astonishing that we didn't identify this long ago.
Reported by Amit Kapila, though this isn't his proposed fix.
o remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines
o add WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER define
o add 3rd argument to open() for portability
o add include/port/win32_msvc directory for
system includes
