As pointed out in git-for-windows#1676, the `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` command currently fails when the current directory's path contains symbolic links. The underlying reason for this bug is that `getcwd()` is supposed to resolve symbolic links, but our `mingw_getcwd()` implementation did not. We do have all the building blocks for that, though: the `GetFinalPathByHandleW()` function will resolve symbolic links. However, we only called that function if `GetLongPathNameW()` failed, for historical reasons: the latter function was supported for a long time, but the former API function was introduced only with Windows Vista, and we used to support also Windows XP. With that support having been dropped, we are free to call the symbolic link-resolving function right away. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

This fixes the remaining part of #1676, where working inside a Git worktree inside a symlinked directory would not work.
