> In HBASE-12332 we'd like to use the FileLink's IO redirecting powers but want
> to be able to specify arbitrary alternate link paths and not be tied to the
> SnapshotFileLink file pattern (aka, table=region-hfile).
> To do this we need change the constructors and some internals so that it is
> more generic. Along the way, we remove the FileStatus constructor arguments
> in favor of Path's and reduce the number of ways to create HFileLinks, and
> tighten up the scope privacy of many methods.
