(#5421) Link should autorequire target
When we manage a local link to a directory and the target directory is
managed by puppet as well, establish an autorequire. So if we have
something like
file { '/foo': ensure => directory }
file { '/link_to_foo': ensure => '/foo' }
file { '/link_to_foo/bar': ensure => file }
we can ensure that puppet does not create dead links and does not try to
create '/link_to_foo/bar' before /foo is created.

When you manage links with puppet it's possible that you have to define
explicit requires. Example:
file { '/foo/bar':
ensure => directory,
}
file { '/link':
ensure => link,
target => '/foo/bar',
}
This works, because you can create a dead link. But if you now do
file { '/link/i_dont_care_it_was_a_link':
ensure => file,
}
this fileresource does autorequire the link, but you cannot be sure, that the
target exists. I would like that `File['/link']` autorequires
`File['/foo/bar']`.
Anything that speaks against this autorequire?
