The symlinks_works test is ignored on windows #10264
Description
In #10179 I added support for symlinks bindings to libuv. I could never get the symlinks_work, so I'm ignoring it for now to get this patch landed.
This warrants further investigation, the problem I kept seeing was that a condition was raised saying "operation not permitted".

Both libuv and libnative call
CreateSymbolicLinkAPI, which fails if user doesn't have some permission on the directories. (GetLastError()returns ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD on my machine)Let's ignore the tests and add some notes on

libuv is totally gone now, so as far as I can tell, this needs closed.
