Error out if git symlink not enabled on Windows

[larryliu0820]

When I install executorch on windows I run into this error: error:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'pip-out\lib.win-amd64-cpython-312\executorch\version.py'

This is because we are not enabling symlink in git.

Need to run:

 git config --global core.symlinks true

and reclone the repo.

This PR fails the installation when that happens.

@GregoryComer @larryliu0820 cherry-pickable to 1.0.1?

[larryliu0820]

Oops this patch doesn't fix the underlying problem. If we don't turn on symlink on windows: git config --global core.symlinks true, then the wheel doesn't have all the python files such as exir/backend/:

PS C:\executorch> tar -tf ".\dist\executorch-1.1.0a0+a6b20e6-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl" | Select-String exir

executorch/exir/_serialize/program.fbs
executorch/exir/_serialize/scalar_type.fbs

Probably will abandon this.

@GregoryComer @larryliu0820 cherry-pickable to 1.0.1?

Following up on Mengwei's comment, I had a task for 1.0 to at least catch this any maybe try to automatically fix the symlinks. I dropped it from release blockers due to priorities, but I'll pull it into 1.0.1.

[larryliu0820]

I updated the PR to error out in install_executorch.bat when symlink is not enabled on the environment.

[GregoryComer]

Thanks for adding this. Looks good to me.
