#885 #892 #893 Create executable BAT files and shell scripts instead of symbolic links on Windows

⚠️ This change is only for Windows and doesn't affect other OS.

aqua creates executable BAT files and shell scripts in directories AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin and AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bat instead of symbolic links.

If you use PowerShell or Command Prompt, please add AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bat to the environment variable PATH.
Or if you use Git Bash, please add AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin to the environment variable PATH.

Why is this change needed?

On Windows, there are two problems regarding symbolic links.

  1. To create symbolic links, you have to run Terminal (cmd.exe, PowerShell, Git Bash, etc) as Administrator or enable Developer Mode
  2. PowerShell has a bug about symbolic link PowerShell/PowerShell#16171
