Zoom 00d8f66311 std: ossymlinks.expandSymlink via reparse-point parsing (#25701)
This PR implements `expandSymlink` on Windows with POSIX readlink
semantics: it expands exactly one hop and returns the stored link target
without resolving the full chain.

The main design question was whether Windows symlink expansion should be
built on path-finalization APIs such as `GetFinalPathNameByHandleW`, or
on direct reparse-point inspection. Current `expandSymlink` is a
single-hop "what target is stored in this link object?" operation and
most of other ways to resolve symlinks on Windows actually try to answer
the "final true file location" question in various slightly-incompatible
ways.

The full final-path resolution on Windows is substantially more complex
than readlink and is planned as a follow-up.

## Implementation choice

Implements Windows `expandSymlink` by:

- opening the path with `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT`
- calling `DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_GET_REPARSE_POINT)`
- parsing the reparse payload for `IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK` and
`IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT`
- decoding the UTF-16 slice referenced by the payload
- returning the stored target

This is the right primitive for the API:
- does not depend on whole-path finalization
- works for both symlinks and junctions
- matches the existing Linux behaviour

`widestrs` changes allow using WideCString views without temporary
allocations.

Windows prohibits symlink creation without admin rights, so,
unfortunately, the tests are conditionally skipped by default. Manually
running `testament` in an admin console is required.

## Behaviour:

- One hop only
- Relative symlink targets are returned unchanged
- Absolute Windows targets are converted from stored NT-style prefixes
to usable Win32 forms when applicable
- Non-links, malformed payloads, and unsupported reparse tags raise
`OSError`

## Future work

Path canonicalization, i.e. "final true file location". Which is, BTW,
different from `absolutePath`, which works on paths only and doesn't hit
the underlying FS. So this needs to be an API extension.

I'd like to follow-up with this when I sort through the docs, for now
you can resolve symlinks in a loop.
