Hi

I used the SetFileInformationByHandle function with the 
FILE_RENAME_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS flag for the file rename function..

1) The _WIN32_WINNT variable needs to be increased to 0x0A00 (Windows 
10).  Fixed conflict with #undef CHECKSUM_TYPE_NONE

2) The SetFileInformationByHandle function works correctly only on 
Windows 10 and higher.

The app must have a manifest to check the Windows version using the 
IsWindows10OrGreater() function. I added a manifest to all postgres 
projects and disabled the GenerateManifest option on windows projects.
