Force some directories to be symlinks
Typically a directory structure is copied instead of symlinked, while files are symlinked. However, some cases require symlinked dirs: git submodules, vim plugins, and so on. This introduces a `SYMLINK_DIRS` option for rcrc(5) that takes a space-separated list of "exclude patterns". Any directory matching these patterns is symlinked. This also introduces a `-S` argument for lsrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1). This argument takes a pattern, for one-off directory symlinking. It can be repeated. This also introduces `-S` and `-s` for mkrc(1). `-S` will re-install the files as symlinks, and `-s` will not. This does work with `-C`, though perhaps unintuitively - we don't know what the user means in this case. However, it will not crash. Bug: `-s` does not work right if `SYMLINK_DIRS` is set. Bug #36 addresses this.
