We can add an explicit call to

  RtlSetProcessPlaceholderCompatibilityMode (PHCM_EXPOSE_PLACEHOLDERS);

and we can recognize the IO_REPARSE_TAG_FILE_PLACEHOLDER and
IO_REPARSE_TAG_CLOUD_* tags during symlink evaluation, but even then
we still have to know what the reparse point buffer actually contains.

Given that the content of reparse points with these reparse tags are
undocumented, some people using cloud services should examine these
reparse points so we can add some suitable code to Cygwin.
