Add support for LX symlinks (WSL/MSYS2 native symlinks)

- Add reparseTagLxSymlink constant (0xA000001D)
- Implement decode logic for LX symlinks (UTF-8 format)
- Add IsLxSymlink field to ReparsePoint struct to preserve symlink type
- Implement encode logic to recreate LX symlinks on import
- Add unit tests for LX symlink round-trip validation

Fixes issue where Docker builds with MSYS2 failed with 'unsupported reparse point a000001d' error.
