    Use a fd opened for read/write when syncing slots during startup. · dfbaed45

    Some operating systems, including the reporter's windows, return EBADFD
    or similar when fsync() is invoked on a O_RDONLY file descriptor.
    Unfortunately RestoreSlotFromDisk() does exactly that; which causes
    failures after restarts in at least some scenarios.
    
    If you hit the bug the error message will be something like
    ERROR: could not fsync file "pg_replslot/$name/state": Bad file descriptor
    
    Simply use O_RDWR instead of O_RDONLY when opening the relevant file
    descriptor to fix the bug.  Unfortunately I have no way of verifying the
    fix, but we've seen similar problems in the past.
    
    This bug goes back to 9.4 where slots were introduced. Backpatch
    accordingly.
