Log: Tweak the wording of the symlink() note to make it clearer that, while it
refers to Windows users, symlink() itself works cross-platform.

Fixes doc bug #63385 (Confusing wording Symlink Documentation).

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
