os: make Lstat for symlinks on Windows consistent with POSIX This also makes path/filepath.Walk more consistent between Windows and POSIX platforms. According to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2013edition/basedefs/V1_chap04.html#tag_04_12 symlinks in a path that includes a trailing slash must be resolved before a function acts on that path. POSIX defines an lstat function, whereas the Win32 API does not, so Go's os.Lstat should follow the (defined) POSIX semantics instead of doing something arbitrarily different. CL 134195 added a test for the correct POSIX behavior when os.Lstat is called on a symlink. However, the test turned out to be broken on Windows, and when it was fixed (in CL 143578) it was fixed with different Lstat behavior on Windows than on all other platforms that support symlinks. In #50807 we are attempting to provide consistent symlink behavior for cmd/go. This unnecessary platform difference, if left uncorrected, will make that fix much more difficult. CL 460595 reworked the implementation of Stat and Lstat on Windows, and with the new implementation this fix is straightforward. For #50807. Updates #27225.
