Junctions are contextually similar to symlinks on Windows.

I propose adding a mechanism to both pathlib.Path and os.path to check if a 
given path is a junction or not. Currently is_symlink/islink return False for 
junctions.

Maybe isjunction in os.path and is_junction in pathlib.Path?

Part of me thinks about adding an junction_ok param to the existing islink and 
is_symlink since they are often similar in usage.

Thoughts?
