Johannes Sixt 704a3143d5 Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that depend on symbolic links
Many tests depend on that symbolic links work.  This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links.  Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.

To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:

$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt

Clone git to /mnt and

$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
          t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
        make test

(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

# From subdir-link, pulling should work as it does from
# clone-repo/subdir/.
#
# Instead, the error pull gave was:
#
# fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive
# fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
#
# because git would find the .git/config for the "trash directory"
# repo, not for the clone-repo repo. The "trash directory" repo
# had no entry for origin. Git found the wrong .git because
# git rev-parse --show-cdup printed a path relative to
# clone-repo/subdir/, not subdir-link/. Git rev-parse --show-cdup
# used the correct .git, but when the git pull shell script did
# "cd `git rev-parse --show-cdup`", it ended up in the wrong
# directory. A POSIX shell's "cd" works a little differently
# than chdir() in C; "cd -P" is much closer to chdir().
