Thomas Munro e2f0f8ed25 Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.
1.  Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors.  This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll.  A new
file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide
to add more in the future.

2.  Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code.  As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.

3.  Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached.  Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall
back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is
available.

This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only.  The
problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a
few complaints.  Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to
this investigation and fix.

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
