Make `try_exists` return `Ok(true)` for Windows Unix Sockets
This is a follow up to rust-lang#109106 but for[ `fs::try_exists`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.try_exists.html), which doesn't need to get the metadata of a file (which can fail even if a file exists).
`fs::try_exists` currently fails on Windows if encountering a Unix Domain Socket (UDS). This PR fixes it by checking for an error code that's returned when there's a failure to use a reparse point.
## Reparse points
A reparse point is a way to invoke a filesystem filter on a file instead of the file being opened normally. This is used to implement symbolic links (by redirecting to a different path) but also to implement other types of special files such as Unix domain sockets. If the reparse point is not a link type then opening it with `CreateFileW` may fail with `ERROR_CANT_ACCESS_FILE` because the filesystem filter does not implement that operation. This differs from resolving links which may fail with errors such as `ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND` or `ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME`.
So `ERROR_CANT_ACCESS_FILE` means that the file exists but that we can't open it normally. Still, the file does exist on the filesystem so `try_exists` should report that as `Ok(true)`.
