When creating directories via `safe_create_leading_directories()`, we might encounter an already-existing directory which is not readable by the current user. To handle that situation, Git's code calls `stat()` to determine whether we're looking at a directory. In such a case, `CreateFile()` will fail, though, no matter what, and consequently `mingw_stat()` will fail, too. But POSIX semantics seem to still allow `stat()` to go forward. So let's call `mingw_lstat()` to the rescue if we fail to get a file handle due to denied permission in `mingw_stat()`, and fill the stat info that way. We need to be careful to not allow this to go forward in case that we're looking at a symbolic link: to resolve the link, we would still have to create a file handle, and we just found out that we cannot. Therefore, `stat()` still needs to fail with `EACCES` in that case. This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2531.
