Fix #12084. os.stat on Windows wasn't working properly with relative symlinks.
Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations. Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).
