Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] Add wait events for Windows-specific logging output
 paths

On Windows, log output goes through paths other than write(2) that can
also block: write_console() emits to the console with WriteConsoleW(),
and write_eventlog() writes to the Windows event log with
ReportEventW()/ReportEventA().  Like the write(2) path, these calls can
block and previously left wait_event IS NULL in pg_stat_activity.

Wrap WriteConsoleW() with the StderrWrite event introduced in the
previous patch, and add a new EventlogWrite event for the event log
path:

  IO / EventlogWrite - ReportEventW()/ReportEventA() inside
                       write_eventlog().

This instruments the Windows logging paths consistently with the
write(2) and syslog(3) paths.  It is split out from the previous patch
since it is platform-specific.

EventlogWrite was confirmed at runtime on Windows through a CI job
rigged to fail if the event is never sampled.  WriteConsoleW cannot be
exercised without a real console, so it is covered by build and review
only.
