How about just adding another case?

Sure, It's your code. If the junctions are handled the same way as symlinks the result is the same. I'm not sure if they require any special handling so I put it in one case.

Go 1.23 changed the junction handling on Windows. Junctions are no longer reported with the
os.ModeSymlinkbit set. Instead, they set theos.ModeIrregular.This PR makes the the copy function correctly copy the junctions again, like it used to do before Go 1.23 instead of returning an error.
