Fix for /dev/tty on Win32 - Mailing list pgsql-patches

I found a better solution to the /dev/tty on Win32.  I used 'con' which
works fine on Win32 except using the Msys 1.0.10 console, but it is
probably the best solution.  Can someone test if newer Msys consoles
work with this?

Added DEVTTY macro for simplicity.

Applied to 8.0.X, 8.1.X, and HEAD.
