Microsoft Store apps are run via app execution aliases, i.e. special
reparse points. Currently, spawn.cc does not resolve a reparse point
when retrieving the path of app after the commit f74dc93c6359, that
disabled to follow windows reparse point by adding PC_SYM_NOFOLLOW_REP
flag.

However, unlike proper reparse point, app execution aliases are not
resolved when trying to open the file via CreateFile(). As a result,
if the path, that is_console_app() received, is the reparse point
for an app execution alias, the func retuned false due to open-failure
because CreateFile() cannot open an app execution alias, while it can
open normal reparse point. If is_console_app() returns false, standard
handles for console app (such as WSL) would not be setup. This causes
that the console input cannot be transfered to the non-cygwin app.

This patch fixes the issue by locally converting the path once again
using option PC_SYM_FOLLOW (without PC_SYM_NOFOLLOW_REP), which is
used inside is_console_app() to resolve the reparse point, if the path
is an app execution alias.

Fixes: f74dc93c6359 ("fix native symlink spawn passing wrong arg0")
