Michael Paquier 754b90f657 Fix error handling of readdir() port implementation on first file lookup
The implementation of readdir() in src/port/ which gets used by MSVC has
been added in 399a36a, and since the beginning it considers all errors
on the first file lookup as ENOENT, setting errno accordingly and
letting the routine caller think that the directory is empty.  While
this is normally enough for the case of the backend, this can confuse
callers of this routine on Windows as all errors would map to the same
behavior.  So, for example, even permission errors would be thought as
having an empty directory, while there could be contents in it.

This commit changes the error handling so as readdir() gets a behavior
similar to native implementations: force errno=0 when seeing
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND as error and consider other errors as plain
failures.

While looking at the patch, I noticed that MinGW does not enforce
errno=0 when looking at the first file, but it gets enforced on the next
file lookups.  A comment related to that was incorrect in the code.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
