[Contribution] PATCH: Copy symbolic links when doing a root overlay

[El Kindi REZIG-2]

Hello guys,

When building a t2 target, you might have noticed that it's unable to copy symbolic links which bothered me a bit, so, I edited the function "copy_and_parse_from_source ()" to make it able to copy symbolic links, it solved my "copy" problems, so I want to share it with you.

Cheers

El Kindi

We did not implement it initially and never really needed it as most
version control systems do not support symlinks, or have issues with
them.

Symlink should better be create with the #!ln ... shebang-like script
identifier.

Nonetheless:

Committed revision 33402.
