[issue33946] os.symlink on Windows should use the new non-admin flag

[Ethan Smith]

New submission from Ethan Smith :

In the creators update CreateSymbolicLink added a dwflag 
SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE, which will allow any user to 
create a symlink (not only an admin). I think we should detect and try to use 
this flag if possible.

I also think it would be nice to suggest turning on developer mode if the 
windows version is at or newer than the creators update.

This should probably happen after https://bugs.python.org/issue28113
