```
fs.selfExePath: Make the Windows implementation follow symlinks

Before, selfExePath would be the path of the symlink on Windows instead of the path of what the symlink points to.

This deprecates fs.selfExePathW since it does not provide a separate use-case over selfExePath (before, the W version could return [:0]u16 directly)

Fixes #16670

```
