Description
Recently, a missing @skip_unless_symlink was caught by a single buildbot -- AMD64 Windows11 Refleaks: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/114107
Given that no-symlinks (i.e. “developer mode” disabled) is the default on Widows, we should probably have a dedicated builder for it.
Unfortunately I'm currently not in a position to fix this.

Research direction
No configuration file or test is named. Start by reading issue #114107 and the existing Windows buildbot configuration; done means a dedicated Windows builder runs with symlinks disabled and can catch tests that incorrectly require them.
