Unsurprisingly, POSIX is silent. It just says "rewinddir shall also
cause the directory stream to refer to the current state of the
corresponding directory, as a call to opendir() would have done,"
basically the same text we had previously.

This could be read as _mandating_ reopening it, but that is almost
certainly not what they intended, so I think we're ok.
