Pull request overview
Updates symbolic link test data generation to avoid UNC network resolution failures on Windows configurations where UNC access is disabled, stabilizing CI for ResolveLinkTarget_Succeeds.
Changes:
- Split
SymbolicLink_ResolveLinkTarget_PathToTarget_Datageneration to coverreturnFinalTarget=false/trueonly for non-UNC paths. - Restrict UNC path cases to
returnFinalTarget=falseto prevent Windows from attempting UNC resolution.

ResolveLinkTarget_Succeedsfails withIOException: The specified network name is no longer availableon Windows versions that have UNC access disabled, becauseSymbolicLink_ResolveLinkTarget_PathToTarget_Datawas yielding UNC paths withreturnFinalTarget=true, causing Windows to actually attempt to resolve\\LOCALHOST\share\path.Test only change for 9.0 (and 8.0), for 10.0 we backported the fix: #124869.
