    Cygwin: rmdir: fail if last component is a symlink, as on Linux
    
    If the last component of the directory name is a symlink followed by a
    slash, rmdir now fails, following Linux but not POSIX, even if the
    symlink resolves to an existing empty directory.
    
    mkdir was similarly changed in 2009 in commit
    52dba6a5c45e8d8ba1e237a15213311dc11d91fb.  Modify a comment to clarify
    the purpose of that commit.
