cmake: Add '-E create_symlink' support on Windows

Browse Source 
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.
