(such as [`os.ModeDir`](/pkg/os#ModeDir)) do not have the `ModeIrregular` bit set.

Go 1.23 changed [`os.Readlink`](/pkg/os#Readlink) and [`filepath.EvalSymlinks`](/pkg/path/filepath#EvalSymlinks)
to avoid trying to normalize volumes to drive letters, which was not always even possible.
This behavior is controlled by the `winreadlinkvolume` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winreadlinkvolume=1`.
