test: cover the link cmdlets

Add 18 tests for New-NTFSHardLink, Get-NTFSHardLink, and
New-NTFSSymbolicLink from the contracts of their cmdlet pages: output with
and without -PassThru, relative paths, the refusal of an existing -Path and
of a folder as the target of a hard link, the non-terminating errors for
missing paths, and the error 1314 without the right to create symbolic
links, compared by its HRESULT because the message is localized.

The tests that need SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege skip without it, and the
test without it skips with it. Elevated and as a basic user, in Windows
PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7, all 20 link tests pass, and each one runs
in at least one of the four configurations.
