Seems simpler to just stat whatever the link points to, rather than the link
itself. IOW, remove the APR_FINFO_LINK. Since we aren't interested in links
right now, this is the simplest answer.

When we *do* want to start discovering links themselves, then we can do
whatever is appropriate. But most users of that function are not looking for
links: they want not-present or is-file or is-dir.
