posix: always seek to EOF when opening a file in append mode
Python 3 already does this, so skip it there.
Consider the program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
FILE *f = fopen("narf", "w");
fprintf(f, "narf\n");
fclose(f);
f = fopen("narf", "a");
printf("%ld\n", ftell(f));
fprintf(f, "troz\n");
printf("%ld\n", ftell(f));
return 0;
}
on macOS, FreeBSD, and Linux with glibc, this program prints
5
10
but on musl libc (Alpine Linux and probably others) this prints
0
10
By my reading of
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fopen.html
this is technically correct, specifically:
> Opening a file with append mode (a as the first character in the
> mode argument) shall cause all subsequent writes to the file to be
> forced to the then current end-of-file, regardless of intervening
> calls to fseek().
in other words, the file position doesn't really matter in append-mode
files, and we can't depend on it being at all meaningful unless we
perform a seek() before tell() after open(..., 'a'). Experimentally
after a .write() we can do a .tell() and it'll always be reasonable,
but I'm unclear from reading the specification if that's a smart thing
to rely on. This matches what we do on Windows and what Python 3 does
for free, so let's just be consistent. Thanks to Yuya for the idea.

Testing head checking code: Case C-3
====================================
Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.
This case is part of a series of tests checking this behavior.
Category C: case were the branch is only partially obsoleted
TestCase 3: 2 changeset branch, only the head is pruned
.. old-state:
..
.. * 2 changeset branch
..
.. new-state:
..
.. * old head is pruned
.. * 1 new unrelated branch
..
.. expected-result:

.. * push denied
