bluandClaude Opus 5.5 0ecef87c4c fix(libkernel): answer Windows reparse points that are not links
lstat and readlink threw NotImplemented for every Windows reparse point
other than a symbolic link or a drive junction. A tag without the name
surrogate bit (cloud files, deduplication) does not stand for another path,
so lstat now answers as stat does and readlink returns EINVAL, as FreeBSD
does for a file that is not a link and as CPython's os.lstat and os.readlink
do (bpo-37834). A name surrogate that is neither a symbolic link nor a
junction (a mounted volume, a WSL link) is reported as the reparse point
itself with the mode of its attributes, and readlink returns EINVAL.

The tests set reparse tags with FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT, one without the
name surrogate bit and one with it. A compact /exe (WOF) file cannot serve
as the fixture: on Windows 11 24H2 the WOF filter hides the reparse point
from GetFileAttributesW and FileAttributeTagInfo alike. Windows refuses
every open of an unhandled tag without FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT, so the
test requires lstat to agree with stat rather than to succeed.

mashingaan's boykopovar/AnyPS5#6447 returned EINVAL for other reparse
points without the tag check.
