pwrite and friends on Haiku are not POSIX-compliant

Description
pwrite
calls the raw _kern_write
syscall on Haiku.
For non-seekable files like consoles (stdout/stderr), this syscall ignores the pos
argument and writes as normal.
However, according to POSIX:
The pread() function shall fail if:
[EINVAL] The file is a regular file or block special file, and the offset argument is negative. The file offset shall remain unchanged.
[ESPIPE] The file is incapable of seeking.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Fixed for sockets and actual FIFOs in hrev57661. However this doesn't fix the problem for TTYs (including stdout/stderr), /dev/random, etc. because devfs publishes everything as S_IFCHR, and fixing this won't be easy, as it will require reporting more information from drivers that there is currently no way to report.
