    Fix our Windows stat() emulation to handle file sizes > 4GB. · bed90759
    Tom Lane authored
    Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to Windows'
    struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field.
    
    Instead of relying on native stat(), use GetFileInformationByHandle().
    This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather
    slipshod emulations of stat().  We still need to jump through hoops
    to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-(
    
    Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into
    its own file, win32stat.c.
    
    Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(),
    rather than treating it identically to stat()?
