    os: use WIN32_FIND_DATA.Reserved0 to identify symlinks · e83601b4

    os.Stat implementation uses instructions described at
    https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100212-00/?p=14963/
    to distinguish symlinks. In particular, it calls
    GetFileAttributesEx or FindFirstFile and checks
    either WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA.dwFileAttributes
    or WIN32_FIND_DATA.dwFileAttributes to see if
    FILE_ATTRIBUTES_REPARSE_POINT flag is set.
    And that seems to worked fine so far.
    
    But now we discovered that OneDrive root folder
    is determined as directory:
    
    c:\>dir C:\Users\Alex | grep OneDrive
    30/11/2017  07:25 PM    <DIR>          OneDrive
    c:\>
    
    while Go identified it as symlink.
    
    But we did not follow Microsoft's advice to the letter - we never
    checked WIN32_FIND_DATA.Reserved0. And adding that extra check
    makes Go treat OneDrive as symlink. So use FindFirstFile and
    WIN32_FIND_DATA.Reserved0 to determine symlinks.
    
    Fixes #22579
