repo: Add a checkout option to not hardlink zero-sized files
In rpm-ostree we've hit a few cases where hardlinking zero-sized files causes us problems. The most prominent is lock files in `/usr/etc`, such as `/usr/etc/selinux/semanage.LOCK`. If there are two zero-sized lock files to grab, but they're hardlinked, then locking will fail. Another case here is if one is using ostree inside a container and don't have access to FUSE (i.e. `rofiles-fuse`), then the ostree hardlinking can cause files that aren't ordinarily hardlinked to become so, and mutation of one mutates all. An example where this is concerning is Python `__init__.py` files. Now, these lock files should clearly not be in the tree to begin with, but - we're not gaining a huge amount by hardlinking these files either, so let's add an option to disable it.
