Description:
When Falcon does recovery on Windows, it always reports an exception when it reaches the end of the serial log. According to Ann, this is harmless, however the testing tools can not distinguish between a harmless exception and a one that destroys the entire database. So, understandably, all exceptions are reported as failures.

How to repeat:
See pushbuild2, code.

Suggested fix:
* Any and all harmless exceptions must be caught. An uncaught exception means recovery failure.

      Bug#39421 - messages during recovery about exceptions from ReadFile.
      Fix:
      Ignore ERROR_HANDLE_EOF coming from ReadFile(). Read should just return 0 
      like it does in Posix case.

A note has been added to the 6.0.8 changelog: 

When performing a recovery of a crashed Falcon table on Windows, MySQL would report an exception when then recovery process completed, even though the recovery may have completed successfully
