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
