Michael Paquier f02259fe93 Allow concurrent-safe open() and fopen() in frontend code for Windows
PostgreSQL uses a custom wrapper for open() and fopen() which is
concurrent-safe, allowing multiple processes to open and work on the
same file.  This has a couple of advantages:
- pg_test_fsync does not handle O_DSYNC correctly otherwise, leading to
false claims that disks are unsafe.
- TAP tests can run into race conditions when a postmaster and pg_ctl
open postmaster.pid, fixing some random failures in the buildfam.

pg_upgrade is one frontend tool using workarounds to bypass file locking
issues with the log files it generates, however the interactions with
pg_ctl are proving to be tedious to get rid of, so this is left for
later.

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/.
