Bug 1321922 added symlink support to Windows but the sandbox does not allow symlinks to files inside MOZ_DEVELOPER_REPO_DIR, causing bug 1635428. The Linux sandbox [explicitly adds the directory as an exception](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/803b368879fa332e8e2c1840bf1ec164f7ed2c32/security/sandbox/linux/broker/SandboxBrokerPolicyFactory.cpp#471) and the Windows one should also be able to do the same.

This currently degrades the Windows dev experience.
