ln(1): fix -F behavior
When '-F' option is used, the target directory needs to be unlinked. Currently, the modified target ("target/source") is being unlinked, and since it doesn't yet exist, the original target isn't removed. This is fixed by skipping the block where target is modified to "target/source" when '-F' option is set. Hence, a symbolic link (with the same name as of the original target) to the source_file is produced. Update the test for ln(1) to reflect fix for option '-F' MFC after: 1 month PR: 219943 Differential Revision: D11167 Submitted by: shivansh Sponsored by: Google (GSoC 2017)
