cygwin: try unprivileged symlink creation on W10 1703 and later

Browse Source 
Add new SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE flag to
CreateSymbolicLinkW call when running on W10 1703 or later.
Don't do that on older versions to avoid ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

Preliminary, needs testing.  There's an off-chance that the
flag results in the same ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER on 1703 if the
developer settings are not enabled.
