Update README.windows.md

added supporting information in cases when packages are failing to build in Windows
Windows: Don't test ispath on deleted file or dir

These are failing with "stat: operation not permitted (EPERM)". There may still be
file handles open so the unlinked file and removed directory cannot be stat-ed.
linrange for constructing ranges by endpoints and length
linrange length check, add tests
linrange type consistency
Clean up examples/. Add test/examples.jl to track breakage for examples. Fixes #7332.
Added mark/unmark/reset/ismarked to IOStream, IOBuffer, and AsyncStream
Also added show() for IOBuffer.

* Define mark, reset, unmark, ismarked for IO only.
  This is slightly sketchy, as it assumes that IO.mark exists, but
  is perhaps better than duplicating the code for all subtypes.

I passed an argument ``x`` to a function, modified it inside that

Fix hard-coded html cross-reference in style guide doc

Fix rare and unlikely early free

During bootsrap, some code called the generic "map"
triggering compilation of the inference code in
jl_apply_generic -> jl_mt_assoc_by_type ->
cache_method. This particular map method gets
overwritten in the process and by the time
jl_apply_generic gets its function pointer back, it
is not present in the method table anymore.
Then, in jl_trampoline, compilation allocates some
managed memory, sometimes triggering GC, thus
sometimes freeing the function object before it is
called.
