checkout: Don't hardlink zero sized files
Alternative to https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2197 Python's (usually) zero-sized `__init__.py` files can provoke us hitting the hardlink limits on some filesystems (`EMLINK`). At least one Fedora rpm-ostree user hit this. The benefits of hardlinking here are quite marginal; lots of hardlinks can behave suboptimally in particular filesystems like BTRFS too. This builds on prior code which made this an option, introduced in https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/commit/673cacd633f9d6b653cdea530657d3e780a41bbd Now we just do it uncondtionally. Also this provoked a different bug in a very obscure user mode checkout case; when the "real" permissions were different from the "physical" permissions, we would still hardlink. Fix the test case for this.

Do not hardlink zero-sized files.
|

This option does nothing; the functionality is now always on by default.
