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.
