qmuntal 7986e26a39 os: don't treat mount points as symbolic links 
This CL changes the behavior of os.Lstat to stop setting the
os.ModeSymlink type mode bit for mount points on Windows. As a result,
filepath.EvalSymlinks no longer evaluates mount points, which was the
cause of many inconsistencies and bugs.

Additionally, os.Lstat starts setting the os.ModeIrregular type mode bit
for all reparse tags on Windows, except for those that are explicitly
supported by the os package, which, since this CL, doesn't include mount
points. This helps to identify files that need special handling outside
of the os package.

This behavior is controlled by the `winsymlink` GODEBUG setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winsymlink=1`.
Previous versions default to `winsymlink=0`.

Raw Blame History

On Windows, the mode bits reported by os.Lstat and os.Stat for reparse points changed. Mount points no longer have os.ModeSymlink set, and reparse points that are not symlinks, Unix sockets, or dedup files now always have os.ModeIrregular set. This behavior is controlled by the winsymlink setting. For Go 1.23, it defaults to winsymlink=1. Previous versions default to winsymlink=0.
