hardlink: check directory's st_dev when copying files

Previously, when copying a file, copyfiles will compare src's st_dev with
dirname(dst)'s st_dev, to decide whether to enable hardlink or not.

That could have issues on Linux's overlayfs, where stating directories could
result in different st_dev from st_dev of stating files, even if both the
directories and the files exist in the overlay's upperdir.

This patch fixes it by checking dirname(src) instead. It's more consistent
because we are checking directories for both src and dest.

That fixes test-hardlinks.t running on common Docker setups.

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).
