[issue10027] os.lstat/os.stat don't set st_nlink on Windows

I'm unsure. I think when I addressed the issue, I was only concerned with symlinks. The Vista behavior sounds correct to me, so it may be that XP was left with the legacy behavior as it doesn't have native symlink support. It sounds as if the behavior on XP should be modified to follow the same technique as in Vista. I don't know when I'll have a moment to look at it in depth, but I'll try to in the next week or two.
