This looks good, but could you document the new common.canCreateSymlink function in the test README ?

Thanks @gibfahn - pushed another commit adding the documentation. @joaocgreis @jasnell thank you both also for the reviews! Please let me know if there's anything else I need to do. |

nit: I don't think we'll get that link below 80 chars, but if you put a newline before [SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege] it should help.
Maybe also worth noting that it returns true for non-windows?

On Windows, creating a symlink requires admin privileges. There were two tests which created symlinks which were failing when run as non-admin. test-fs-symlink.js already had a check for privileges on Windows but it had a couple issues: 1. It assumed that whoami was the one that came with windows. However, whoami also ships with Win32 Unix utility ports like the distribution with git, which can cause this to get check tripped up. 2. On failure, the check would just return from the callback instead of exiting 3. whoami was executed asynchronously so the test would run regardless of privilege state. test-fs-options-immutable had no check. As part of this change, I refactored the privilege checking to a function in common, and changed both above tests to use the refactored function. Also documented this function in test\README.md PR-URL: nodejs#10477
