## Message

```
Make 'stat of a symlink' test case not rely on OpenDirOptions.no_follow behavior

The `no_follow` behavior happened to allow opening a file descriptor of a symlink itself on Windows, but that behavior may change in the future. Instead, we implement the opening of the symlink as a file descriptor manually (and per-platform) in the test case.

```
