[m-rev.] diff: tools/bootcheck: fix Windows buglets

[Fergus Henderson]

Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main, release

tools/bootcheck:
	Fix a couple of bugs that occur when bootchecking on Windows:
	- use $LN rather than $LN_S to link library_strong_name.sn,
	  since the `al' tool doesn't understand Cygwin symlinks
	- remove mercury_mcpp.h before linking it the second time;
	  this avoids an error message about the file already being there
	  due to it having been linked when we processed the *.h pattern.
