Patch for logresolve.c to open stdin & -out buffered

main() from httpd-2.4.12/support/logresolve.c first opens stdin & -out unbuffered using the plain apr_file_open_stdin() & -out() so no mutex will be allocated in the apr_file_t structures, followed by calls to apr_file_buffer_set() to assign two newly created buffers.

apr_file_buffer_set() from httpd-2.4.12/srclib/apr/file_io/win32/buffer.c starts by trying to apr_thread_mutex_lock() the associated mutex which is still NULL from the open above.

The easiest fix is to use apr_file_open_flags_stdin() & -out with the APR_FOPEN_BUFFERED flag instead as shown in the attached patch.

The implementation for UNIX of apr_file_buffer_set() (in httpd-2.4.12/srclib/apr/file_io/unix/buffer.c) differs by applying the file_lock() & -unlock macros from httpd-2.4.12/srclib/apr/include/arch/unix/apr_arch_file_io.h which in turn will only call apr_thread_mutex_lock() & -unlock if the mutex exists.

Both variants are wrong as the documentation in httpd-2.4.12/srclib/apr/include/apr_file_io.h states that apr_file_buffer_set() can be used to assign a buffer to an unbuffered file *requiring* the use of a mutex (#if APR_HAS_THREADS). Fixing the handling of the mutex in the APR library would be the right thing and obsolete the patch given here.

logresolve.exe from httpd-2.2.x did work on Windows.
