Please don't resolve native symbolic links in cygwin_conv_path

If a POSIX path supplied to cygwin_conv_path ends in a symbolic link,
the returned path refers to the target of that link. Normally, that's
a good thing because native programs can't understand Cygwin links.
But this behavior is unwanted when we're looking at a *native*
symbolic link that all programs can understand. It's needlessly
specific and rather surprising, and is causing trouble with a program
I'm writing that manipulates native symbolic links.
