refactor(linker): copy_file instead of rename on Windows (#1254)

Renaming the file will move it from its original installation directory. While reaching into package installation
directories is unsupported and not recommended, it seems to be done pretty broadly. In order to avoid unnecessarily
breaking people's configs we copy the file instead, for now. (tip: use the stable locations inside $MASON/share
$MASON/opt $MASON/bin, if a package is missing a link please open an issue/PR).

This will be reversed back to use uv_fs_rename() in 1.x.x.
