Enable follow symlinks

[fredriktid]

ezupgrade does not follow symlinks.

The "cp" command can follow symlinks by using the "L" option, e.g.:

cp -RL sourcedir/ targetdir/

See man page.

How would you like this to behave? If symlinks are used to normalize files or to place them on separate partitions, would you still like all content to be copied directly into the destination folder?

Maybe you would like to preserve the link: cp -R --preserve=links sourcedir/ targetdir/

How about two options:
--followsymlinks
--preservesymlinks

I agree, having two options is the best solution.

The default behaviour should probably be to follow symlinks since most users don't use separate partitions.
