Add support for creating symbolic links on Windows

Replace all calls to os.symlink with platform_utils.symlink.

The Windows implementation calls into the CreateSymbolicLinkW Win32
API, as os.symlink is not supported.

Separate the Win32 API definitions into a separate module
platform_utils_win32 for clarity.
