Michael Paquier cd113a0b47 Switch pg_test_fsync to use binary mode on Windows
pg_test_fsync has always opened files using the text mode on Windows, as
this is the default mode used if not enforced by _setmode().

This fixes a failure when running pg_test_fsync down to 12 because
O_DSYNC and the text mode are not able to work together nicely.  We
fixed the handling of O_DSYNC in 12~ for the tool by switching to the
concurrent-safe version of fopen() in src/port/ with 0ba06e0.  And
40cfe86, by enforcing the text mode for compatibility reasons if O_TEXT
or O_BINARY are not specified by the caller, broke pg_test_fsync.  For
all versions, this avoids any translation overhead, and pg_test_fsync
should test binary writes, so it is a gain in all cases.

Note that O_DSYNC is still not handled correctly in ~11, leading to
pg_test_fsync to show insanely high numbers for open_datasync() (using
this property it is easy to notice that the binary mode is much
faster).  This would require a backpatch of 0ba06e0 and 40cfe86, which
could potentially break existing applications, so this is left out.

There are no TAP tests for this tool yet, so I have checked all builds
manually using MSVC.  We could invent a new option to run a single
transaction instead of using a duration of 1s to make the tests a
maximum short, but this is left as future work.

Thanks to Bruce Momjian for the discussion.

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:

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.
