Win32: lstat(): return adequate stat.st_size for symlinks
Git typically doesn't trust the stat.st_size member of symlinks (e.g. see strbuf_readlink()). However, some functions take shortcuts if st_size is 0 (e.g. diff_populate_filespec()). In mingw_lstat() and fscache_lstat(), make sure to return an adequate size. The extra overhead of opening and reading the reparse point to calculate the exact size is not necessary, as git doesn't rely on the value anyway.
