Merge branch 'tb/mingw-rmdir-symlink-to-directory'

Windows rmdir() equivalent behaves differently from POSIX ones in
that when used on a symbolic link that points at a directory, the
target directory gets removed, which has been corrected.

* tb/mingw-rmdir-symlink-to-directory:
  mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with Linux

* Contrary to Linux' `rmdir()`, Windows' _wrmdir() and _rmdir()
* (and `RemoveDirectoryW()`) will attempt to remove the target of a
* symbolic link (if it points to a directory).
*
* This behavior breaks the assumption of e.g. `remove_path()` which
* upon successful deletion of a file will attempt to remove its parent
* directories recursively until failure (which usually happens when
* the directory is not empty).
*
* Therefore, before calling `_wrmdir()`, we first check if the path is
* a symbolic link. If it is, we exit and return the same error as
* Linux' `rmdir()` would, i.e. `ENOTDIR`.
