Win32: implement stat() with symlink support

With respect to symlinks, the current stat() implementation is almost the
same as lstat(): except for the file type (st_mode & S_IFMT), it returns
information about the link rather than the target.

Implement stat by opening the file with as little permissions as possible
and calling GetFileInformationByHandle on it. This way, all link resoltion
is handled by the Windows file system layer.

If symlinks are disabled, use lstat() as before, but fail with ELOOP if a
symlink would have to be resolved.
