When opening the CON device the underlying CreateFile call needs to use either GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE access, but not both. Currently opening for writing fails as follows:

   >>> open('CON', 'wb', buffering=0)
   Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   OSError: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect: 'CON'

If self->writable is true, it should set `access = GENERIC_WRITE`, not `access |= GENERIC_WRITE`.

This only applies to CON. It's normal to open CONIN$ and CONOUT$ with both read and write access, and WindowsConsoleIO handles that correctly.
