Removed almost recommendation that makes almost no sense (explained it in comment). Added reference to documentation.

Using CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native is wrong for so many different workflows. If you are OK with using "fall back to creating Cygwin default symlinks" then why would you even try to make native in first place? If someone needs "native" then ... they need "native". The only proper option is "CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict"!
