win32: implement symlink(2)
Provide an implementation of symlink(2).
Calls to symlink(2) will fail in default Windows installations unless
running with elevated privileges. Failure to create a symlink when
extracting files from an archive is therefore treated as a non-fatal
error.
There are two ways to permit the creation of symlinks:
- Edit security policy to give users the 'Create symbolic links'
privilege. Unfortunately this doesn't work for users who are an
Administrator.
- Enable developer mode, which is available in later versions of
Windows 10.
The ability to create symlinks is not available in Windows XP
or ReactOS.
