[PATCH 04/15] Set _O_BINARY as default fmode for both MinGW and MSVC

MinGW set the _CRT_fmode to set both the default fmode and _O_BINARY on stdin/stdout/stderr. Rather use the main() define in mingw.h to set this for both MinGW and MSVC.

This will ensure that a MinGW and MSVC build will handle input and output identically.

Alexey Borzenkov: Include git-compat-util.h from the test-genrandom.c so that the application also will use the main() define, and thus the stdout mode is set correctly and generated data stays the same.

Johannes Sixt: Before, since the test-genrandom application would link against libgit.a, the MinGW process initialization code would pick up the definition of _CRT_fmode from mingw.c that is initialized to _O_BINARY. After this patch, however, the _CRT_fmode symbol is no longer present in libgit.a, so MinGWs process initialization code will not set the correct std(in|out|err) mode. So, the include is needed to override main() and explicitly set the mode.

 Gaaaaah! Sorry for not reading Alexey's patch properly.
 Multitasking is not working to my advantage these days..
