Don't follow junctions when recursing directories.

When deleting directories recursively, an elevated custom action
following junctions in a user-writable location could recurse into
any directory, including some that you might not want to be deleted.
Therefore, avoid recursing into directories that are actually
junctions (aka "reparse points").

This applies to:

- DTF's custom action runner.

Protect elevated working folder from malicious data

When running elevated, Burn uses the Windows Temp folder as its working folder
to prevent normal processes from tampering with the files. Windows Temp does
allow non-elevated processes to write to the folder but they cannot see the
files there. Unfortunately, contrary to our belief, non-elevated processes
can read the files in Windows Temp by watching for directory changes. This
allows a malicious process to lie in wait, watching the Windows Temp folder
until a Burn process is launched elevated, then attack the working folder.
Mitigate that attack by protecting the working folder to only elevated users.

Managed custom actions also fall back to using the Windows Temp folder in
some cases and thus can be exposed in a similar fashion as an elevated Burn
process. Remove that possibility.
