STORM-3272 allow worker-launcher to delete dead symlinks When a topology folder contains a symlink to a missing file, the worker-launcher would not remove the symlink. This prevents force delete from deleting the folder when cleaning up a topology. When a cluster is short on resources, this can cause all sorts of issues on the supervisor when rescheduling the same topology when this folder still exists.
