[PATCH v2] libstdc++: Add symlink support on Windows

I forgot to wrap windows_create_symlink in a #ifdef in the first version,
so I added the #ifdef _GLIBCXX_FILESYSTEM_IS_WINDOWS. That is the only change.
This patch adds symlink support on Windows.
I tested it on x86_64-w64-mingw32 with msys2.
A few notes about this patch:
1. Symlinks can only be created while running as admin, or if Developer Mode
is enabled on Windows 10/11.
2. Symlinks on Windows are either file symlinks or directory symlinks.
I decided that fs::create_symlink should only be used for creating file
symlinks, unlike the implementation on Linux. I am not sure if this
was the correct decision.
3. Windows seems to process dotdots in paths before it resolves symlinks.
This results in errors.
For example, in test03 for fs::canonical, there is a directory setup with
dir, dir/foo, and dir/bar. dir/foo contains a symlink, baz,
which points to ../bar. The test checks that
fs::canonical(dir/foo/baz/../bar) equals dir/foo/../bar/../bar or dir/bar.
However, Windows interprets the path as dir/foo/bar.
This is the reason my patch treats paths with a dotdot carefully
in fs::absolute and fs::canonical.
This is my first contribution to libstdc++ and I would prefer the FSF hold
copyright of the code rather than me.
libstdc++-v3/Changelog:
* src/c++17/fs_ops.cc:
Include <winioctl.h> for FSCTL_GET_REPARSE_POINT.
(path_starts_with_dotdot): New helper function for fs::absolute.
(fs::absolute): Call GetFullPathNameW on part of path before ".."
and then append the rest to the result.
(fs::canonical): Don't use lexically_normal in call to fs::absolute.
Don't check if path exists if it contains "..".
Check that component of path exists if it isn't empty or "." or "..".
(windows_create_symlink): New helper function for fs::create_symlink
and fs::create_directory_symlink.
(fs::create_directory_symlink): Call windows_create_symlink on Windows.
(fs::create_symlink): Call windows_create_symlink on Windows.
(auto_win_file_handle::auto_win_file_handle): Add follow_symlink
parameter to control whether the handle should open the symlink
or the target, with a default value of true.
(windows_read_symlink_handle): New helper function
for fs::read_symlink.
(fs::read_symlink): Call windows_read_symlink_handle on Windows.
(fs::remove): Call RemoveDirectoryW only for directories, and
DeleteFileW for regular files, but attempt both for symlinks.
(fs::remove_all): Return immediately if path is empty.
Check if path points to a symlink, and if so, remove the
symlink using fs::remove.
* src/filesystem/ops-common.h:
Define S_IFLNK and S_ISLNK.
(__gnu_posix::__open_for_stat): New helper function for stat and lstat.
(__gnu_posix::__is_handle_symlink): New helper function for
stat, lstat, and fs::read_symlink.
(__gnu_posix::__stat_windows): New helper function for stat and lstat.
(__gnu_posix::stat, __gnu_posix::lstat): Use __stat_windows to properly
follow or not follow symlinks, and check if file is a symlink.
* testsuite/27_io/filesystem/operations/canonical.cc (test03):
Use fs::create_directory_symlink instead of fs::create_symlink.
* testsuite/27_io/filesystem/operations/copy.cc (test02):
Create a symlink to temporary file instead of ".".
Use fs::exists(symlink_status()) instead of fs::exists for symlinks.
* testsuite/27_io/filesystem/operations/weakly_canonical.cc (test01):
Use fs::create_directory_symlink instead of fs::create_symlink.
* testsuite/util/testsuite_fs.h: Do not define NO_SYMLINKS on Windows.
