One of the core pieces of functionality in dnvm is swapping between different isolated installs in different directories. To switch between directories, the implementation on Unix-like systems uses symlinks. The Windows implementation used a cmd file since the muxer didn't support being run behind a symlink. In .NET 9 that restriction was lifted, so we can use symlinks everywhere.
