    Cygwin: path_conv: do not get confused by a directory with `.lnk` suffix
    
    When trying to create a directory called `xyz` in the presence of a
    directory `xyz.lnk`, the Cygwin runtime errors out with an `ENOENT`.
    
    The root cause is actually a bit deeper: the `symlink_info::check()`
    method tries to figure out whether the given path refers to a symbolic
    link as emulated via `.lnk` files, but since it is a directory, that is
    not the case, and that hypothesis is rejected.
    
    However, the `fileattr` field is not cleared, so that a later
    `.exists()` call on the instance mistakenly thinks that the symlink
    actually exists. Let's clear that field.
    
    This fixes https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/issues/81
