The Windows Store version of Python (and apparently other Windows Store applications) install a special reparse point called "app execution alias" into the user's `PATH`. These applications can be executed without any problem, but they cannot be read as if they were files. This trips up Cygwin's beautiful logic that tries to determine whether we're about to execute a Cygwin executable or not: instead of executing the application, it will fail, saying "Permission denied". Let's detect this situation (`NtOpenFile()` helpfully says that this operation is not supported on this reparse point type), and simply skip the logic: Windows Store apps are not Cygwin executables (and even if they were, it is unlikely that they would come with a compatible `cygwin1.dll` or `msys-2.0.dll`).
