Sebastiaan van Stijn be6e92a57b pkg/atomicwriter: use sequential file access on Windows ...

Using sequential file access ([FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN]) prevents
Windows from aggressively keeping files in the cache, freeing up system
memory for other tasks. On Linux, these changes have no effect, as the
sequential package use the standard (os.CreateTemp, os.OpenFile) on
non-Windows platforms. Refer to the [Win32 API documentation] for details
on sequential file access.
