The symlink-drivers-solibs.sh script was disabled as part of 'install'
for Windows because there is no support for shell scripts. However,
this means that driver related DLLs are not present in the installed
'libdir' directory.
Replace the shell script with a python script to perform the symbolic
linking to improve cross platform support. On Linux the functionality
is unchanged.
On Windows, symbolic links are somewhat problematic since the
SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege is required to be able to create them.
In addition, different cross-compilation environments handle symbolic
links differently, e.g. WSL, Msys2, Cygwin. Rather than trying to
distinguish these scenarios, the python script will perform a file copy
for any Windows specific names.
On Windows, the shared library outputs have different names depending
upon which toolset has been used to build them. The script currently
handles Clang and GCC.
