The entire section falls under the else path of #ifdef _WIN32. Checking
for it makes no sense. Probably some refactoring mistake.

[[maybe_unused]] (introduced in C++17) is standard C++.

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#maybe-unused-unused
says that this is equivalent to the GNU unused attribute.

The former is deprecated by C++14. It's also functionally the same.

From the standard:

19.4
The header<cerrno>is described in Table 43. Its contents are the same as
the POSIX header<errno.h>,except that errno shall be defined as a macro.
[Note: The intent is to remain in close alignment with the POSIX
standard.] A separate errno value shall be provided for each thread.

Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c14, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support.  Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.

This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.

Only _WIN32 is defined by the compiler, and WIN32 is not standardized
and may be missing.

Closes #169

This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

Prepare to add more modes.

Fixes yet another breakage of creating the database+state file on
Windows.

The file handle is never reset to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, and thus the
destructor will assume the operation shall be cancelled and will
delete the temporary file.

This was a major breakage for saving the database file and the state
file.

The Linux feature allows writing new files to an invisible file, and
then replace the old file.  This preserves the old file if we get
interrupted by some event.
