Don't compile in unused reparse point symlink code
Recent Windows versions now create symlinks more frequently and they do use this "reparse point" symlink mechanism. We can of course do symlinks nicely to Samba and other servers which support the CIFS Unix Extensions and we can also do SFU symlinks and "client only" "MF" symlinks optionally, but for recent Windows we currently can not handle the common "reparse point" symlinks fully, removing the caller for this. We will need to extend and reenable this "reparse point" worker code in cifs and fix cifs_symlink to call this. In the interim this code has been moved to its own config option so it is not compiled in by default until cifs_symlink fixed up (and tested) to use this.
