clean: remove mount points when possible

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be
unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users
expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that
contains NTFS junction points: the junction should be removed, and the
target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is
inside the worktree).
