Text mode is ignored on Windows.

When ksum is run on Windows the expected behaviour of --text
mode is that CRLF newlines are converted to LF newlines when reading input data. However, file data is always read in binary mode and CRLF are not converted, i.e. --text
mode has the same behaviour as --binary
on all systems.
After some investigation, this seems to be caused by using Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams
to read from the input files. Even when the file is opened with Form="text_translation=yes"
, stream reading always sets the file to binary mode before performing the read. See Ada RM A.12.2/6 which mentions mixing text/binary modes for text streams.
