Add API to create symlinks without requiring Administrator privilege

TerrorJack commented 4 years ago

Description

Adds a Bool argument to createSymbolicLinkFile/createSymbolicLinkDirectory in System.Win32.SymbolicLink, allowing users to create symlinks without requiring Administrator privilege in the current process.

Motivation and Context

Starting from Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update), after enabling Developer Mode, users can create symbolic links without requiring the Administrator privilege in the current process. See the Win32 API documentation of CreateSymbolicLinkW for details.

Thanks @TerrorJack! I do wonder though if we should just add a Bool flag to the two existing APIs. I have a slight preference for that.. what do you think?

TerrorJack commented 4 years ago

@Mistuke That would require a major version bump in Win32 right? I also prefer adding Bool flags if you're okay with that.

Mistuke commented 4 years ago

Yes but the version will be bumped for other changes anyway :)

Mistuke commented 4 years ago

So go ahead with the Bool flag!
