For a file tree rooted at dir
dir:
file1* file2* file3* subdir/
dir/subdir:
file4* file5*
and a directory junction `junction` whose target is `dir`, then for `p =
Path.of("junction")`, the results of `p.toRealPath()`,
`p.toRealPath(NOFOLLOW_LINKS)`, `Files.list(p)`, and `Files.walk(p,
FOLLOW_LINKS)` are identical before and after this change. Only the results of
`Files.walk(p)` differ and are as follows:
- **before**
```[junction, junction\file1, junction\file2, junction\file3, junction\subdir,
junction\subdir\file4, junction\subdir\file5]```
- **after**
```[junction]```.
