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

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org> added the comment:

Fixed in r86935.

Tests pass on the following setups:
- Windows 7 (regular user - no symlink privilege)
- Windows 7 (administrator + symlink privilege)
- Windows Server 2003 (no symlink abilities)
- Arch Linux (just a sanity check)

I'm going to create a follow-up issue to explain how this works for the Windows part of the FAQ. There is documentation, but beginners could probably use some tips and explanation.
