Bug #6809: Ignore "links => follow" when managing symlinks

It doesn't make sense to set "links => follow" inside a symlink resource. We're
not managing content, and you end up with edge cases like this:
<pre>
file { "/tmp/foo":
ensure => directory
}
file { "/tmp/bar":
ensure => "/tmp/foo",
links => follow
}
</pre>
<pre>
kripke:~ nbk$ puppet -v /tmp/test.pp
info: Applying configuration version '1300749546'
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]/ensure: created
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: created
kripke:~ nbk$ puppet -v /tmp/test.pp
info: Applying configuration version '1300749548'
info: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Recursively backing up to filebucket
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Not removing directory; use 'force' to
override
info: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Recursively backing up to filebucket
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Not removing directory; use 'force' to
override
err: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]/ensure: change from directory to link failed:
Could not remove existing file
</pre>
