Title: [FIXED JENKINS-13202] Try to use NIO.2 (Java 7) methods to work with symlinks.

Fall back to JNA (or worse) only on Java 5–6. Ought to fully solve [JENKINS-13202](https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13202) for Java 7+ users, by providing symlink support on all platforms which can actually handle it: all Unix flavors, and Windows Vista and above on NTFS. (At least in adequately authorized accounts—for some reason Windows seems to deny symlink creation to Joe User.)

Needs more careful testing; filing for early feedback.
