    Cygwin: path_conv: add PC_SYM_NOFOLLOW_DIR flag
    
    Usually a trailing slash requires to follow an existing symlink,
    even with PC_SYM_NOFOLLOW.  The reason is that "foo/" is equivalent
    to "foo/." so the symlink is in fact not the last path component,
    "." is.  This is default for almost all scenarios.
    
    PC_SYM_NOFOLLOW_DIR now allows the caller to request not to
    follow the symlink even if a trailing slash is given.  This can
    be used in callers to perform certain functions Linux-compatible.
