[master branch] - Fix BZ-58683
The commit here fixes the issue reported at
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58683.
This commit along with fixing the issue reported in that bug, also has
updated the `Symlink` task to now start relying on the Java 7 support of
symlinking through the use of `java.nio.file.Files` APIs. This now allows the
task to move away from spawning process(es) for dealing with symlinks and also
allows this task to be functional on non-unix systems which support symbolic
links.
P.S: For 1.9.x branch, I can create a separate commit, without using Java 7
APIs to fix this bug, if we do want to do that there. Let me know.
