Cygwin: rmdir: fail if last component is a symlink, as on Linux 

If the last component of the directory name is a symlink followed by a
slash, rmdir now fails, following Linux but not POSIX, even if the
symlink resolves to an existing empty directory.

mkdir was similarly changed in 2009 in commit
52dba6a5c4.  Modify a comment to clarify
the purpose of that commit.
