[vim/vim] "all links" argument to glob() not working on Windows (Issue #14933)

[Timothy Madden]

Steps to reproduce

Create a bad symbolic link (with missing target) using MkLink command (needs Administrator access, or needs the Local Policy to be set accordingly).

Use glob() with alllinks argument set to true, to list the new link

:!If Not Exist BadLink (MkLink BadLink NoSuchFileOrDirectory)
:echo 'BadLink'->glob(v:false, v:true, v:true)

If I use readdir() on the directory containing the symlink, then I can list the bad link.

Expected behaviour

glob() should return bad symlinks if alllinks argument is v:true
