Windows package: fix random build failure due to race condition

The MEX files are built out-of-tree (because we want to do them in parallel).
This would create a potential race condition if several builds want to create
the symlinks under mex/matlab/ or mex/octave/.

The solution is to disable those symlinks for out-of-tree builds.
