Description

When extracting a symbolic link from a supported filesystem, System.IO.File.CreateSymbolicLink shall be used to create the appropriate link in the host filesystem.

Context

The proper way of extracting file is always trying to use the underlying host filesystem features as best. Introduced with .NET 6 is a multi-platform way of creating symbolic links, that shall be used when extracting one from a filesystem we support extraction.
