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

[Jason R. Coombs]

I'm currently struggling with determining if the host process has the appropriate privileges. I'm stuck in that I've enumerated the privileges for an admin account, but the SeCreateSymbolicLink privilege is not present. I guess it's inherited. If you have any suggestions for determining access, please consider posting a response at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2094663/determine-if-windows-process-has-permission-to-create-symbolic-link .
