Many tests that involve symbolic links actually check only whether our algorithms are correct by investigating the contents of the object database and the index. Only some of them check the filesystem. This series introduces a function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link in the index even if the filesystem does not support symbolic links. By using this function, many more tests can be run when the filesystem does not have symblic links, aka Windows. The patches touch a number of test files that do not follow the modern style. But I modernized only the two test files where the subsequent change to use test_ln_s_add would otherwise be rather inconvenient or obscure.
