Now that we have a symlink verifier which checks that in-memory symlink names are null-terminated, be sure we do that when we create them via the mkfs protofile. We only want to null-terminate inline data if it's a symlink; we only ever /call/ newfile() with "dolocal" for symlinks, so rename that function argument for clarity.
