[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:

This second patch adds the documentation to os.rst to formally define
the behavior of the symlink function in Windows. Only changes needed to
be made to the lstat and symlink functions.  readlink remains Unix-only.
We may consider implementing this method for Windows as well at a later
date.
