Add `-Force` flag to `Get-Item` in `resolve_symlinks.ps1` to ensure hidden folders (like `AppData`) or system-protected junctions can be resolved without throwing ObjectNotFound errors.

Description
This PR addresses a robustnees issue in
resolve_symlinks.ps1where path resolution fails on Windows if any segment of the path has "Hidden" or "System" attributes.In many Windows environments, folders such as
AppData(common inPUB_CACHEpaths) carry these attributes. By default,Get-Itemignores these items and throws anObjectNotFounderror, even though the directory physically exists. Adding the-Forceparameter ensures that the script can inspect these segments to check for symbolic links/junctions without interruption.Changes
resolve_symlinks.ps1: Added-Forceto theGet-Itemcall within the path segment loop.Verification Results
PUB_CACHEpath involving hidden system folders.Get-Itemfails withItemNotFoundException(ObjectNotFound) when hitting theAppDatasegment, causing confusing console errors and potential link resolution failure.
