[issue10608] Add a section to Windows FAQ explaining os.symlink

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin :

A section in the Windows FAQ should better explain the recent addition of 
os.symlink and how it can be used, along with examples.

If a user just sits down and hits Start>Run>python, os.symlink will almost 
positively not be available. I'll need to briefly explain privileges, which one 
is needed, how it can be obtained, and how to properly write code on Windows to 
make use of os.symlink.

There is documentation of os.symlink itself, but it's more of a developer 
reference to match the rest of the os module documentation. A beginner would 
likely need more information, but that information isn't right for 
Doc/library/os.rst.
