    .cirrus.yml: Change winsymlinks to 'native' · 6ad52086

    At present winsymlinks is set to 'nativestrict', and its behavior is:
    
      a) if native symlinks are enabled and <target> exists, creates
         <destination> as a native Windows symlink;
      b) else if native symlinks are not enabled or if <target> does
         not exist, 'ln -s' fails.
    
    This causes the following error message was seen during the configure:
    
      "ln: failed to create symbolic link
      'x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64.exe': No such file or directory"
    
    Change winsymlinks to 'native' whose behavior is most similar to the
    behavior of 'ln -s' on *nix, that is:
    
      a) if native symlinks are enabled, and whether <target> exists
         or not, creates <destination> as a native Windows symlink;
      b) else if native symlinks are not enabled, and whether <target>
         exists or not, 'ln -s' creates as a Windows shortcut file.
