t5601/t7406(mingw): do run tests with symlink support

A long time ago, we decided to run tests in Git for Windows' SDK with
the default `winsymlinks` mode: copying instead of linking. This is
still the default mode of MSYS2 to this day.

However, this is not how most users run Git for Windows: As the majority
of Git for Windows' users seem to be on Windows 10 and newer, likely
having enabled Developer Mode (which allows creating symbolic links
without administrator privileges), they will run with symlink support
enabled.

This is the reason why it is crucial to get the fixes for CVE-2024-? to
the users, and also why it is crucial to ensure that the test suite
exercises the related test cases. This commit ensures the latter.
