test: do not write fixture in test-require-symlink

test-require-symlink modifies the fixture directory by adding a symlink.
Copy the fixture to the test tmpdir instead of modifying the fixture
directory.

This also uses a more empirical test for checking for the ability to
make symlinks on Windows.
