mingw: implement a platform-specific `strbuf_realpath()`

There is a Win32 API function to resolve symbolic links, and we can use
that instead of resolving them manually. Even better, this function also
resolves NTFS junction points (which are somewhat similar to bind
mounts).

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481.
