checklink: work around sshfs brain-damage (issue3636)

With the follow_symlinks option, sshfs will successfully create links
while claiming it encountered an I/O error. In addition, depending on
the type of link, it may subsequently be impossible to delete the link
via sshfs. Our existing link to '.' will cause sshfs to think the link
is a directory, and thus cause unlink to give EISDIR. Links to
non-existent names or circular links will cause the created link to not even
be visible.

Thus, we need to create a new temporary file and link to that. We'll
still get a failure, but we'll be able to remove the link.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
