[issue9333] Expose a way to enable os.symlink on Windows

(hit enter too soon, sorry)

The patch makes os.symlink always available on Windows machines, but it will only have an effect when privileged. Windows XP and Windows 2003 will still receive NotImplementedError, as the underlying calls aren't available there. On Vista and 7 for non-privileged users, OSError will be raised.
