    Cygwin: symlinks: Allow traversing WSL symlinks
    
    Unfortunately Windows doesn't understand WSL symlinks,
    despite being a really easy job.  NT functions trying
    to access paths traversing WSL symlinks return the status
    code STATUS_IO_REPARSE_TAG_NOT_HANDLED.  Handle this
    status code same as STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND in
    symlink_info::check to align behaviour to traversing
    paths with other non-NTFS type symlinks.
