The test-stdin-from-from-file test runs a subprocess that verifies stdin
can be piped from a file.

The subprocess additionally attempts to verify that the file descriptor
for stdin never gets closed. It used to do this by creating a TCP server
and asserting that the associated file descriptor is greater than two.
However this strategy doesn't work on windows, because servers don't
have an associated file descriptor. With this patch an ordinary file is
opened instead of creating a server.

// If stdin's fd was closed, the next open() call would return 0. - is this strictly true on all relevant platforms?

LGTM if this makes sense to you

The new test passes for me, if that helps.

Yes. POSIX mandates that open() returns the lowest available file descriptor.
For files, msvcrt emulates this behavior.
