On Windows, such files were not truncated like on all other hosts.
Now we also test whether truncation is needed when running on Windows.

The append case was also incorrect because it needs a different value
for the desired access mode.

This patch supersedes my previous patch for qemu-char which only
fixed the truncate case. Paolo gave the hint to the wrong access mode
(see also commit 52074d0f662fc51293d4cde8077631f754784405).

Regards
Stefan
