Disable RandomizedBaseAddress on MSVC builds

mhagander · mhagander · commit 7f3e17b4827b · 2014-02-18T14:45:58.000+01:00
The ASLR in Windows 8/Windows 2012 can break PostgreSQL's shared memory. It
doesn't fail every time (which is explained by the Random part in ASLR), but
can fail with errors abut failing to reserve shared memory region.
