Michael Haubenwallner 3956ddd9bf forkables: hardlink without WRITE_ATTRIBUTES first
When the current process has renamed (to bin) a readonly dll, we get
STATUS_TRANSACTION_NOT_ACTIVE for unknown reason when subsequently
creating the forkable hardlink. A workaround is to open the original
file with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access, but that fails with permission
denied for users not owning the original file.

* forkable.cc (dll::create_forkable): Retry hardlink creation using the
original file's handle opened with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access when the
first attempt fails with STATUS_TRANSACTION_NOT_ACTIVE.
