> The windows version of `os::access` has differing behavior than the POSIX

>                 Key: MESOS-5237
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5237
>             Project: Mesos
>          Issue Type: Bug

> The POSIX version of {{os::access}} looks like this:
> {code}
> inline Try<bool> access(const std::string& path, int how)
> {
>   if (::access(path.c_str(), how) < 0) {
>     if (errno == EACCES) {
>       return false;
>     } else {
>       return ErrnoError();
>     }
>   }
>   return true;
> }
> {code}
> Compare this to the Windows version of {{os::access}} which looks like this 
> following:
> {code}
> inline Try<bool> access(const std::string& fileName, int how)
> {
>   if (::_access(fileName.c_str(), how) != 0) {
>     return ErrnoError("access: Could not access path '" + fileName + "'");
>   }
>   return true;
> }
> {code}
> As we can see, the case where {{errno}} is set to {{EACCES}} is handled 
> differently between the 2 functions.
> We can actually consolidate the 2 functions by simply using the POSIX 
> version. The challenge is that on POSIX, we should use {{::access}} and 
> {{_::access}} on Windows. Note however, that this problem is already solved, 
> as we have an implementation of {{::access}} for Windows in 
> {{3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/stout/include/stout/windows.hpp}} which simply 
> defers to {{::_access}}.
> Thus, I propose to simply consolidate the 2 implementations.
