build: require administrator elevation

Hey, I recently switched back to Windows and now I’ve noticed that massive build time impact without Administrator Privileges.

I know this bug has been already reported several times and is actually related to the ember-cli project.

So now, I’m asking for something like a feature request. For example, when I use Webstorm’s embedded terminal, then I don’t have administrator privileges, and that means the build is very slow.

I thought about something like an Administrator Elevation, which will be called, when using the CLI on Windows without administrator privileges.

That means, the default Run as Administrator prompt will appear, and the build can run with elevated permissions.

Not sure, about this being a duplicate, but it should be fine.

@samherrmann I believe admin privileges are because the broccoli-typescript compiler creates symbolic links as part of the compilation process, and symbolic links can’t be created without administrator privileges, or at least group policy changes, as per Ember’s guide: http://ember-cli.com/user-guide/#symlinks-on-windows
