```
Redo GetFinalPathNameByHandle using DeviceIoControl

This commit reimagines `std.os.windows.GetFinalPathNameByHandle`
using `DeviceIoControl` to query the OS mount manager for the DOS
(symlink) paths for the given NT volume name. In particular,
it uses `IOCTL_MOUNTMGR_QUERY_POINTS` ioctl opcode to query the
manager for the available moount points.
