cmake: Add '-E create_symlink' support on Windows
The allows `-E create_symlink` to work on Windows. It utilizes `uv_fs_symlink`. I am still unsure exactly which Windows platforms will work without requiring Administrator privileges or needing a user/group with the "Create Symbolic Links" User Rights. It does work with my Windows 10 Pro with Developer Mode turned on. In the test suite check that the symlink either worked or failed with a permissions error. Use recent changes in cmSystemTools::FileExists to check that a symlink is broken.
