symlinks and RENAME-FILE and DELETE-DIRECTORY

 Both followed symlinks too eagerly.

  * Presumably anyone doing (rename-file "link-to-foo" "bar") wants to rename
    the link and not the file it points to -- which has the unpleasant
    side-effect of breaking the selfsame link.

    Make it so.

 * It is less clear what someone doing (delete-directory "link-to-dir")
   expects to happen -- so take the conservative option and signal an error,
   and document this.
