See if FileAttributes.ReparsePoint can allow for symbolic link checks #5987

See title. Nate had this idea and I wanted to formally document it.

In checking file system attributes, Apache mod_rewrite supports checking if a file is a symbolic link. We might be able to imitate this behavior by checking if a file has the FileAttributes.ReparsePoint attribute set, but we need to verify the semantics are correct. e.g. when is ReparsePoint true? soft/hard links? junctions? etc.

Here's the TODO in code: https://github.com/aspnet/BasicMiddleware/blob/ead052324c911604a18a64594672613cca211115/src/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Rewrite/Internal/ApacheModRewrite/RuleBuilder.cs#L134-L137
