Creating symbolic links results in protocol error.

[sbaechler]

This is related to Ticket #14563. When running Vagrant on a Windows 10 host, creating a symbolic link fails. Not just with relative paths but also with absolute paths.

The error only occurs in the Vagrant synced folder. With NFS and regular mount options.

Here is an example:

vagrant@scotchbox:/var/www/public$ ln -s index.php test.php
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘test.php’: Protocol error

Duplicate of #10085. Symlinks on shared folders cannot be created from the guest due to security reasons. Creating the link on the host and using it from the guest is no problem. Should be fixed eventually but the fix is not trivial.
