[issue23407] os.walk always follows Windows junctions

[Craig Holmquist]

Craig Holmquist added the comment:

Here's a new patch:  now, _Py_attribute_data_to_stat and Py_DeleteFileW will just use the IsReparseTagNameSurrogate macro to determine if the file is a link, so os.walk etc. will know not to follow them.  os.readlink, however, will only work with junctions and symbolic links; otherwise it will raise ValueError with "unsupported reparse tag".

This way, there's a basic level of support for all name-surrogate tags, but os.readlink only works with the ones whose internal structure is (semi-) documented.
