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.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF

Abort absorb if there is an unfinished operation.

  $ hg init abortunresolved
  $ cd abortunresolved

  $ echo "foo1" > foo.whole
  $ hg commit -Aqm "foo 1"

  $ hg update null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo "foo2" > foo.whole
  $ hg commit -Aqm "foo 2"

  $ hg --config extensions.rebase= rebase -r 1 -d 0
  rebasing 1:c3b6dc0e177a "foo 2" (tip)
  merging foo.whole
  warning: conflicts while merging foo.whole! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  unresolved conflicts (see hg resolve, then hg rebase --continue)

  $ hg --config extensions.rebase= absorb
