Bazel client: implement PathExists on Windows
Checking if a path exists is surprisingly hard on
Windows. The most convenient API functions are
PathFileExists and GetFileAttributes but neither
of them follows junctions. To check if a junction
is dangling, we have to resolve it all the way.
This change adds a JunctionResolver class to
file_windows, which can resolve junctions (if they
aren't dangling) and non-junctions (in this case
just checks their existence).
