Win32: make the lstat implementation pluggable

Emulating the POSIX lstat API on Windows via GetFileAttributes[Ex] is quite
slow. Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the
status of entire directories than checking single files. A caching
implementation may improve performance by bulk-reading entire directories
or reusing data obtained via opendir / readdir.

Make the lstat implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.
