New description:
On Windows,
```inspectdb..tests.InspectDBTransactionalTests.test_foreign_data_wrapper```
fails with the following error:
```
The error was: could not open file "/dev/null" for reading: No such file
or directory
HINT: COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server process to read a file.
You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy.
AssertionError: 'class InspectdbIrisForeignTable(models.Model):' not found
in [...]
```
This is because of the way the test is written as
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/12646#issuecomment-647944821/
pointed out by]. Patch fixes this by generalizing the test to use
os.devnull to be OS-agnostic instead of /dev/null always.
