Review request for Aurora and Kevin Sweeney.
Bugs: AURORA-1169
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1169
Repository: aurora
Description
-------
Help users notice and make progress more quickly when fatefully attempting to
build with a Windows host OS.
An alternative approach would be to not rely on the symlink here, but i'm not
confident that this would kick the can down the road to one of the numerous
other places we rely on symlinks.
This does not fix AURORA-1169, but i propose that we do this to make it clear
earlier that Windows as a build platform is not currently supported. Given the
number of native dependnecies we have, i think this is the most sane course for
the project today.

Ran the build with a dummy version value, got this:
```
$ ./gradlew build

:buildSrc:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:classes UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:jar UP-TO-DATE

:buildSrc:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:testClasses UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:test UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:check UP-TO-DATE

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

*******************************************************************************
The application version string read by gradle is invalid. This is known to
happen when building on Windows, or within vagrant with a Windows host.
You can work around this issue by cloning git _within_ vagrant and building
from there.
For more details, please see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1169
