[jdk25u-dev] RFR: 8372012: java/nio/file/attribute/BasicFileAttributeView/SetTimesNanos.java should check ability to create links

Backporting JDK-8372012: java/nio/file/attribute/BasicFileAttributeView/SetTimesNanos.java should check ability to create links.

This PR adds symbolic link support check to SetTimesNanos.java before attempting to create symbolic links, preventing failures on platforms that don't support them.

For parity with Oracle JDK.

Ran related tests on linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macos-aarch64 and windows-x64:

make test TEST=test/jdk/java/nio/file/attribute/BasicFileAttributeView/SetTimesNanos.java
