CreateFile2() always uses the kernel I/O flag FILE_DISALLOW_EXCLUSIVE [1] when
New submission from Eryk Sun :
Issue 46490 proposes to support follow_symlinks in os.utime() on Windows.
Instead of duplicating the os.stat() implementation of follow_symlinks, I
suggest factoring out a common _Py_CreateFile() function with two additional
parameters: traverse (input) and pFil
