This change affects only Windows, where it should cause DOS-style newlines (\r\n) to be converted to plain \n during script loading. This eliminates one potential discrepancy in the behavior of extension script files between Windows and non-Windows. While there's a small chance that this might cause undesirable behavior changes for some extensions, it can also be argued that this may remove behavioral surprises for others. An example is that in the buildfarm, we are getting different results for the tests added by commit 774171c4f depending on whether our git tree has been checked out with Unix or DOS newlines. The choice to use binary mode goes all the way back to our invention of extensions in commit d9572c4e3. However, I suspect it was not thought through carefully but was just a side-effect of the ready availability of an almost-suitable function read_binary_file(). On balance, changing to text mode seems like a better answer than other ways in which we might fix the inconsistent test results. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2480333.1729784872@sss.pgh.pa.us
