symlinks in ramfs are created with the wrong filesize causing broken
symlinks on envfs. Looking into this revealed other shortcomings which
are fixed in this series. As a bonus the ln command gets an ignored
-s option and also the link destination can now be an existing directory
in which case it behaves like the linux ln command.
