The testcase fails today, so mark it with atf_expect_fail: in
particular, the target (B) isn't being unlinked and the documentation
doesn't suggest special handling for directories. Thus, there's either
a doc or an implementation bug in ln(1) that needs to be resolved.

file(1) can be compiled out of the system via MK_FILE == no, and the
output isn't guaranteed to be stable. It's better to use stat(1)/readlink(1)
instead to query symlink/file paths.

* Verify that when creating a hard link to a symbolic link, '-L' option
creates a hard link to the target of the symbolic link
* Verify that when creating a hard link to a symbolic link, '-P' option
creates a hard link to the symbolic link itself
* Verify that if the target file already exists, '-f' option unlinks it so
that link may occur
* Verify that if the target file or directory is a symbolic link, '-shf'
option prevents following the link
* Verify that if the target file or directory is a symbolic link, '-snf'
option prevents following the link
* Verify that '-s' option creates a symbolic link
* Verify that '-w' option produces a warning if the source of a symbolic
link does not currently exist
