Hiroshi Ioka 2eb46e8c57 os: prevent infinite symlink loop of Stat on Windows
The Windows version of Stat calls Readlink iteratively until
reaching a non-symlink file.
If the given file is a circular symlink, It never stops.
This CL defines the maximum number of symlink loop count.
If the loop count will exceed that number, Stat will return error.

Fixes #16538

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
