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

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

Yes, "Run as administrator" solves the permissions problem, leaving an error in test_posixpath that I'll investigate.

What's the expectations with the buildbots? Will these tests work there? We could create a branch and run a buildbot test if need be.

It would probably be best to find a way to skip these tests if they would fail with a permissions error.
