update: fix bug when update tries to modify folder symlink

In 1e4512eac59e0114bc60ecbcdc4157fc0fa0439d, I introduced a new bug:
when a symlink points to a folder in commit A and to another folder
in commit B, while updating from A to B, Mercurial will try to use
removedir on this symlink, which will fail. This is a very bad bug,
since it basically renders symlinks to folders unusable in repos.

Added test case fails without a fix and passes with it.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function

import errno
import os
import sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print(f, '->', os.readlink(f))
    except OSError as err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print(f, '->', f, 'not a symlink')

sys.exit(0)
