If I use ./x in WSL2 it will create a host symlink in the build directory. If I then switch to the Windows host using the same build directory I get this error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'fs::remove_dir(&host) failed with The directory name is invalid. (os error 267)', lib.rs:516:13
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The simplest solution here would be to detect ERROR_DIRECTORY (aka os error 267) and fallback to fs::remove_file.

bootstrap: fix clean's remove_dir_all implementation

It turns out bootstrap's `clean.rs`'s hand-rolled `rm_rf` (which probably comes before `std::fs::remove_dir_all` was stable) is very broken on native Windows around both read-only files/directories and especially symbolic links. So instead of rolling our own, just use `std::fs::remove_dir_all`. Because I wasn't super sure about `std::fs::remove_dir_all`'s behavior and to catch `std::fs::remove_dir_all`'s behavioral changes here on forward, I added a collection of tests that checks if our expectation of the behavior of `std::fs::remove_dir_all` and its underlying Unix syscalls and Win32 APIs matches with its actual behavior.

This is a blocker for compiletest's own `rm_rf` implementation rust-lang#129155 which happens to be also buggy, which in turn is a blocker for the rmake.rs test port rust-lang#128562 that heavily exercises symlinks (I was reviewing rust-lang#128562 and testing it on native Windows which is how I found out).

I also left a FIXME for `detect_src_and_out` due to a failing assertion on native Windows:

```
---- core::config::tests::detect_src_and_out stdout ----
thread 'core::config::tests::detect_src_and_out' panicked at src\core\config\tests.rs:72:13:
assertion `left == right` failed
  left: "E:\\tmp"
 right: "C:\\tmp"
```

Fixes rust-lang#112544 (because now we handle Windows symlinks properly).
