    win32: correctly unlink symlinks to directories

When deleting a symlink on Windows, then the way to delete it depends on
whether it is a directory symlink or a file symlink. In the first case,
we need to use `DeleteFile`, in the second `RemoveDirectory`. Right now,
`p_unlink` will only ever try to use `DeleteFile`, though, and thus fail
to remove directory symlinks. This mismatches how unlink(3P) is expected
to behave, though, as it shall remove any symlink disregarding whether
it is a file or directory symlink.

In order to correctly unlink a symlink, we thus need to check what kind
of file this is. If we were to first query file attributes of every file
upon calling `p_unlink`, then this would penalize the common case
though. Instead, we can try to first delete the file with `DeleteFile`
and only if the error returned is `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED` will we query
file attributes and determine whether it is a directory symlink to use
`RemoveDirectory` instead.
