Fix unportable setvbuf() usage in initdb.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 9601cb7bcc8f · 2014-05-15T15:58:01.000-04:00
In yesterday's commit 2dc4f01, I tried to force buffering of stdout/stderr in initdb to be what it is by default when the program is run interactively on Unix (since that's how most manual testing is done). This tripped over the fact that Windows doesn't support _IOLBF mode. We dealt with that a long time ago in syslogger.c by falling back to unbuffered mode on Windows. Export that solution in port.h and use it in initdb. Back-patch to 8.4, like the previous commit.
