  1. Use junctions for directory links on Windows 

    Using symlinks on Windows requires that our users enable Developer
mode, which isn't always possible. For directory links, there is an
easy solution: NTFS Junctions. These work the same as symlinks but
do not require administrator privileges nor developer mode.

  2. Update shim behavior on Windows to use scripts 

    Rather than using symlinks, which require administrator privileges
or developer mode on Windows, we can instead use small scripts that
call out to 'volta run' to actually handle the execution of 3rd
party binaries.

This also adds a migration to a new v4 layout, which allows Windows
installs to migrate immediately to using the script-based shims.
