## Message

```
windows: Handle `DELETE_PENDING` in `DeleteFile`.

DELETE_PENDING can happen when the file is yet to be closed for deletion
or if it never get closed. In that case, DeleteFile should assume the
file deletion is succeeding (no CloseHandle is required as it's a "failure"). In case of `DELETE_PENDING` failure, the file
may still exist. In which case if it's part of `deleteTree`, it will
eventually fail on `error.DirNotEmpty`.

```
