If the process token contains SECURITY_SERVICE_RID, but it has been
disabled by the SE_GROUP_USE_FOR_DENY_ONLY attribute, win32_is_service()
would incorrectly report that we're running as a service. That situation
arises, e.g. if postmaster is launched with a restricted security token,
with the "Log in as Service" privilege explicitly removed.
Replace the broken code with CheckProcessTokenMembership(), which does
this correctly. Also replace similar code in win32_is_admin(), even
though it got this right, for simplicity and consistency.
Per bug #13755, reported by Breen Hagan. Back-patch to all supported
versions. Patch by Takayuki Tsunakawa, reviewed by Michael Paquier.

When win32security.c was moved from src/backend/port/win32/security.c,
the message writing function was changed from write_stderr to log_error,
but nls.mk was not updated. We could add log_error to GETTEXT_TRIGGERS,
but it's also used in src/common/exec.c in a different way and that
would create some confusion or a larger patch. For now, just put an
explicit translation marker onto the strings that were previously
translated.
Commit c22650cd64 sparked a discussion
about diverse interpretations of "token user" in error messages. Expel
old and new specimens of that phrase by making all GetTokenInformation()
callers report errors the way GetTokenUser() has been reporting them.
These error conditions almost can't happen, so users are unlikely to
observe this change.

pg_ctl is using isatty() to verify whether the process is running in a
terminal, and if not it sends its output to Windows' Event Log ... which
does the wrong thing when the output has been redirected to a pipe, as
reported in bug #13592.
To fix, make pg_ctl use the code we already have to detect service-ness:
in the master branch, move src/backend/port/win32/security.c to src/port
(with suitable tweaks so that it runs properly in backend and frontend
environments); pg_ctl already has access to pgport so it Just Works. In
older branches, that's likely to cause trouble, so instead duplicate the
required code in pg_ctl.c.
