link: work around IRIX bug

On IRIX 6.5, link(file, "dangling") creates the target of dangling
as a link to file, rather than failing with EEXIST.

* m4/link.m4 (gl_FUNC_LINK): Expose the bug.
* lib/link.c (rpl_link): Work around it.
* tests/test-link.h (test_link): Enhance test.
* doc/posix-functions/link.texi (link): Document the bug.
