Bug Fixes

• Always fall back to creating file symlinks on Windows
  When the metadata of a symlink's target cannot be obtained, even if
  the error is something other than NotFound, this falls back to
  creating file symbolic links. This only affects scenarios where
  either the checkout would fail entirely or where the symlink would
  have been treated as a collision and skipped (even though it was
  not really a collision, since only its target had an error). Other
  cases are not affected, and all exisitng scenarios where directory
  symlink would be created will still create directory symlinks.

  This builds on 31d02a8 (#1363) by supporting dangling symlinks even
  when the target filenames are unusual, such as when the name is
  invalid or reserved. Windows permits such symlinks to be created,
  and going ahead and creating the matches the Git behavior.

  This should also support other errors beisdes NotFound. For
  example, some permissions-related errors, in some cases where
  traversal or acccess (even to access metadata) are not allowed,
  would fail to create a symlink. This should address that as well.

  This works by using Path::is_dir() in the standard library, which
  automatically converts all errors (not just NotFound) into
  false. The logic here is thus quite similar to what was already
  present, just more tolerant, even though the code itself is shorter
  and simpler.

  This fixes #1420, and also fixes #1421.
