Commit 5579388d removed code that supplied a fallback implementation of
getaddrinfo(), which was dead code on modern systems. One tiny piece of
the removed code was still doing something useful on Windows, though:
that OS's own gai_strerror()/gai_strerrorA() function returns a pointer
to a static buffer that it overwrites each time, so it's not
thread-safe. In rare circumstances, a multi-threaded client program
could get an incorrect or corrupted error message.
Restore the replacement gai_strerror() function, though now that it's
only for Windows we can put it into a win32-specific file and cut it
down to the errors that Windows documents. The error messages here are
taken from FreeBSD, because Windows' own messages seemed too verbose.
Back-patch to 16.

Commit 5579388d was confused about why gai_strerror() didn't work, and
used gai_strerrorA(). It turns out that we had explicitly undefined
Windows' own macro for that somewhere else. Get rid of all that, and
use the system headers' definition of gai_sterror() directly as
intended.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

This can be used to build 64 bit Windows binaries, not only on 64 bit
Windows but on supported cross-compiling hosts including 32 bit Windows,
Cygwin, Darwin and Linux.
I think this explains the 'implicit declaration of function gai_strerror'
warnings visible in the current buildfarm report from snake: if
sys/socket.h is included again after getaddrinfo.h, the file would
merrily undefine the gai_strerror macro.
