[PATCH 0/2] compat/mingw: fix EACCESS when opening files with `O_CREAT | O_EXCL`

Hi,

I finally found some time to have a look at why t0610 is failing regularly in MinGW. As it turns out the root cause is our emulation of open(3p): when trying to open a file with `_wopen(..., O_CREAT|O_EXCL)` the call fails in case another process has marked the same file for deletion via `DeleteFileW()`. This gets triggered by t0610 because we race around locking the reftable stack and thus causes the failure.

The fix is simple: we get `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED` in this situation, so instead of translating that error to `EACCESS` we translate it to `EEXIST`. This fixes the flake on my machine, but as usual when it comes to Windows I would very much like to ask those in the know to point out any obvious mistakes I did.

The other patch is a while-at-it patch that I was wondering about while debugging the issue. It's not needed and I'm happy to drop it if you don't think we should include it.

Thanks!

Patrick
