[issue1578269] Add os.link() and os.symlink() and os.path.islink() support for Windows

[Jason R. Coombs]

Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com> added the comment:

In the interest of expediency, I've implemented I.(a): specifically,
I've put a wrapper around DeleteFileW to check if the target is a
directory-symlink, and if it is, call RemoveDirectory instead.  I've
updated the test case to reflect this behavior.  Patch draft 6 includes
these changes.

Is there anything else that needs to be addressed before this can be merged?
