This patch adds a helpful message when encountering a failure to create symlinks in Windows which can likely be fixed by enabling developer mode.
The implementation is very dumb, just catching all File::AccessDeniedError and check whether it was caused by a missing privilege for symlink creation.
Alterantively, we could use a wrapper for File.symlink which checks this directly at every call site (it's only 2). But I think it's easier this way.
