windows: ensure mach can fully used (even for cross-compilation) without symlinks #587
Description
Windows has terrible support for symlinks[0][1][2], and the behavior of them cannot be relied on to work by default for most developers.
We should eliminate all symlinks from Mach repositories, including e.g. where we ship macOS and Linux SDKs for cross-compilation. #211
Tooling / scripts should be added to validate and give us confidence that symlinks do not exist in our repositories, and have not been accidentally reintroduced, as well.
