> This PR addresses an issue on Windows, where a class file could not be loaded by a symbolic link. 
> 
> I added a check if a wide path is a symbolic link (soft one) and a method for dereferencing. Both os::stat() and os::open() on Windows now can handle such links.
> 
> Tested in tiers 1-3. A separate test added.
