Ok.  As I do not have an access to a working sync with an SVN
repository nor a Mac OS box, I cannot test this, but something
like this should be applied to 'maint' before v1.5.1.3.  I've
run testsuite we have including t9XXX series, but that is the
only test I did.

Testing, acks and feedback are very much appreciated.

Fix symlink handling in git-svn, related to PerlIO

After reading the leading contents from a symlink data obtained
from subversion, which we expect to begin with 'link ', the code
forked to hash the remainder (which should match readlink()
result) using git-hash-objects, by redirecting its STDIN from
the filehandle we read that 'link ' from.  This was Ok with Perl
on modern Linux, but on Mac OS, the read in the parent process
slurped more than we asked for in stdio buffer, and the child
did not correctly see the "remainder".

This attempts to fix the issue by using lower level sysseek and
sysread instead of seek and read to bypass the stdio buffer.
