The current implementation of _pgfstat64() is ineffective in detecting a terminal handle or an anonymous named pipe. This commit improves our port of fstat() to detect more efficiently such cases by relying on GetFileType(), and returning more correct data when the type found is either a FILE_TYPE_PIPE (_S_IFIFO) or a FILE_TYPE_CHAR (_S_IFCHR). This is part of a more global fix to address failures when feeding the output generated by pg_dump to pg_restore through a pipe, for example, but not all of it. We are also going to need to do something about fseek() and ftello() which are not reliable on WIN32 for the same cases where fstat() was incorrect. Fixing fstat() is independent of the rest, though, which is why both fixes are handled separately, and this is the first part of it.
