Windows: Possible workaround for logarithmic slowdown for Encrypt-In-Place on large volumes (relates to #1063)
We replace absolute file pointer moving by relative moving with respect to current position. This was implemented as a workaround to address the performance issues related to in-place encryption. When using SetFilePointerEx() with FILE_BEGIN as the reference point, reaching the end of large drives during in-place encryption can cause significant slowdowns. By moving the file pointer relatively, these performance issues are mitigated.
