[issue5008] Wrong tell() result for a file opened in append mode

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Patch version 2:
 - raise raise PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError) on lseek() error
 - add tests for unbuffered binary file and (buffered) text file

I use the type "long" to store the lseek() result, because I don't 
know if off_t is available on all OS. Py_off_t may be used, but it's 
defined above (after fileio_init). fileio_seekable() uses the 
type "int" for lseek() result, which looks worse than long :-)
