[issue8879] Implement os.link on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

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

In a round-about way, that's what the tests do via sameopenfile.

Maybe the behavior of os.path.samefile for Windows hard links should be documented? Possibly just a small note explaining that os.path.sameopenfile is an alternate solution due to how GetFinalPathNameByHandle works.
