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)

Treat all name surrogate reparse points on Windows in :func:`os.lstat` and
other reparse points as regular files in :func:`os.stat`.
