test-hardlink: do not test .hg/cache/checklink

Linux and BSD have different behavior on "os.link(src, dst)" where "src" is
a symlink. That causes test difference.

According to POSIX [1]:

  If path1 names a symbolic link, it is implementation-defined whether
  link() follows the symbolic link, or creates a new link to the symbolic
  link itself.

So both behaviors are correct. This patch removes the trouble maker
"checklink" to make the test pass on both platforms.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
