[PATCH v2] Windows: correct detection of EISDIR in mingw_open()

From
Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

According to the Linux open(2) man page, open() returns EISDIR if a directory was attempted to be opened for writing. Our emulation in mingw_open() does not get this right: it checks only for O_CREAT. Fix it to check for a write request.

This fixes a failure in reflog handling, which opens files with O_APPEND|O_WRONLY, but without O_CREAT, and expects EISDIR when the named file happens to be a directory.

 This version of the patch uses O_ACCMODE.
