[issue12084] os.stat() on windows doesn't consider relative symlink

How about this patch?

We yield the GIL in posix_do_stat, so as Antoine pointed out in IRC, we were calling PyErr_SetString without having the GIL. I think this is the correct fix as I've stepped through the code in Visual Studio, forcing it to take this branch when on Win7, but I don't currently have the ability to run on XP.
