Remove dead pread and pwrite replacement code.

pread() and pwrite() are in SUSv2, and all targeted Unix systems have
them.

Previously, we defined pg_pread and pg_pwrite to emulate these function
with lseek() on old Unixen.  The names with a pg_ prefix were a reminder
of a portability hazard: they might change the current file position.
That hazard is gone, so we can drop the prefixes.

Since the remaining replacement code is Windows-only, move it into
src/port/win32p{read,write}.c, and move the declarations into
src/include/port/win32_port.h.

No need for vestigial HAVE_PREAD, HAVE_PWRITE macros as they were only
used for declarations in port.h which have now moved into win32_port.h.
