    Description

      1) Create Windows symlink to UNC path, eg:

      mklink /D D:\dat\tst \\10.3.0.2\drivej\testfiles

      (D:\dat -existing folder, tst - symlink name, \\10.3.0.2\drivej\testfiles - UNC path on server).

      2)
      QFileInfo("D:/dat/tst").canonicalPath() will return D:/dat/UNC/10.3.0.2/drivej which is incorrect, it should be //10.3.0.2/drivej

      absolutePath() works OK (symlinks are not resolved, as expected)
