This patch implements git support for NTFS symbolic link type reparse points.
* There is a specific privelege required to create symbolic links that is not
generally associated with a standard user. This part is up to the user to worry
about.
* NTFS reparse points differentiate between file and directory links. This
patch assumes file links are meant. (A separate patch will develop this
further).
* This patch is not intended to implement symbolic links in the shell utilities.
This means that as of when this was written, bash and gnu utilities do not
handle them.
* Windows chdir behaves differently to *nix, and we need to unravel symbolic
links for various operations to work as expected.
* For efficiency, as much as possible of the calls are done with wchar_t, before
being converted to utf-8. This is as much about avoiding dealing with windows
default encoding as anything else.
* resolve_symlink needed to be replaced in lockfile.c since there are some
issues with recognising absolute paths, as well as for efficiency with
wchar_t.
