[windows] should not follow NTFS junctions and symbolic links #73

Currently both NTFS junctions and symbolic links are followed, making backup grows beyond its limits (since they often points to another disk). Please fix to not follow. Storing NTFS junctions and symbolic links as is in the backup will be nice addition too (currently both stored as directories). I don't test hard links to tell what happens with them. See about various link types in windows here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_reparse_point
