This action is completely valid on both Windows and Linux (and OS X) operating systems; tested with `mklink` and `ln -s` respectively. Note that targets for hard links must exist, thus we check specifically for symbolic links. Both the path globber in session state and the `New-Item` implementation needed to be fixed to allow the target not to exist. Resolves #801. Also enable symbolic link tests on Windows.
