bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows (GH-15231)

bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only

bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
