Fix op/taint.t failure on Windows with 64-bit gcc-4.8.0 from MinGW-w64

MinGW-w64's 64-bit gcc now uses the SEH C++ exception model rather than
SJLJ or Dwarf2 (see http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php).  For
such gccs, op/taint.t will need libgcc_s_seh-1.dll rather than
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll or libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.  Fixes perl #121699.

Likewise, libwinpthread-1.dll is necessary if gcc was compiled with POSIX
threading and linked with the libwinpthread library, which is the case for
the gcc-4.8.2 toolchain that is likely to be used with the Strawberry Perl
5.20.x series.  Thanks to kmx for this.

ExtUtils::Install handle symbolic and hard links

[perl #72028]

When upgrading an already-installed file, ExtUtils::Install could mess up
the permissions of files if the old versions of files were hard or
symbolic links. For example, if the Foo module had been installed as
lib/Foo.pm and for some reason (perhaps due to OS packaging) that file was
hard-linked to other/Foo.pm or replaced with a symbolic link to
other/Foo.pm, then when trying to install a newer release of Foo, the
permissions of the other/Foo.pm file could end up messed up.

This was due to ExtUtils::Install changing the permissions of the old file
before unlinking it; if the file was a link, then the linked file would
get the chmod instead. Since on POSIXy platforms it is the directory
permissions, not the file permissions, that affect whether a file can be
unlinked, the chmod was redundant anyway. So on these platforms, skip the
chmod.

I've also added tests for symlinked and hard-linked files.

are actually allocated, and are freed as the very last thing before
exiting (later than perl_destruct()). In the code above, the created

vars.  ASan can detect that such a var is being accessed after being
freed; in this case due to PL_ppaddr being indexed in call_sv().
