PowerRename does not work on NTFS reparse points #13

Description

@arjunbalgovind

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.449
PowerToys   version: 0.13.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if   applicable): PowerRename

Steps to reproduce

Create reparse points, e.g. duplicate a folder with some files in OneDrive, right click the folder and choose "Free up space". OneDrive will change the local files to reparse points. Mark the files, right click them. The context menu does not show PowerRenamer (but it does show the standard "Rename" which works, albeit only for a single file, as usual).

Expected behavior

PowerRenamer should show up in the context menu and work on the reparse point(s).

Actual behavior

PowerRenamer does not show up (or work) with NTFS reparse points.
