posix: retry on symlink race in checklink

name. This would cause one side to get an EEXIST error and wrongly
fail the support check. Here, we simply retry if our temporary name
exists.

# Usage:
#   seq STOP              [1, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STOP        [START, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STEP STOP   [START, STOP] stepping by STEP

stop = int(sys.argv[-1]) + 1
