dll/msvcrt/file.c : fseek/feof fix

Hi all,

I have found a bug in MSVCRT_fseek. If I fread() to the end of a
file, then do fseek (file, 0, SEEK_SET), the feof() function still
returns true.

According to the ISO standard

  A successful call to fseek() shall clear the end-of-file indicator
  for the stream and undo any effects of ungetc() and ungetwc() on
  the same stream. After an fseek() call, the next operation on an
  update stream may be either input or output.

I also found a test in dlls/msvcrt/tests/file.c that seems to have
been made inactive by use of a "todo_wine". Activating the test
without the fix results in two failures:

    file.c:244: Test failed: feof failure in binary mode
    file.c:244: Test failed: feof failure in ascii mode

Finally, I also wrote a small test program that tested this
functionality and ran it on windows XP. This confirmed that the
current behaviour of wine is different from XP and that the
behaviour with my fix matches XP.

Patch below.

Cheers,
Erik
