ftell: seek to end only when there are unflushed bytes (BZ #17647)
Currently we seek to end of file if there are unflushed writes or the
stream is in write mode, to get the current offset for writing in
append mode, which is the end of file.  The latter case (i.e. stream
is in write mode, but no unflushed writes) is unnecessary since it
will only happen when the stream has just been flushed, in which case
the recorded offset ought to be reliable.

Removing that case lets ftell give the correct offset when it follows
an ftruncate.  The latter truncates the file, but does not change the
file position, due to which it is permissible to call ftell without an
intervening fseek call.

Tested on x86_64 to verify that the added test case fails without the
patch and succeeds with it, and that there are no additional
regressions due to it.

	[BZ #17647]
	* libio/fileops.c (do_ftell): Seek only when there are
	unflushed writes.
	* libio/wfileops.c (do_ftell_wide): Likewise.
	* libio/tst-ftell-active-handler.c (do_ftruncate_test): New
	test case.
	(do_one_test): Call it.
