When asked to open/fopen a path, e.g. "a/b:/c", which does not exist
on the filesystem, Windows (correctly) fails to open it but sets
EINVAL to errno

errno to EINVAL (as of now it sounds as if it is a EINVAL = errno,
which makes no sense to me)

because the pathname has characters that cannot be
stored in its filesystem.

As this is an expected failure, teach is_missing_file_error() helper
about this case.

This is RFC,

cc'd people knowledgeable of Windows.

This has been resolved I think with J6t/Dscho's patch yesterday.

Thanks.
