[OE-core] [PATCHv2 2/2] oeqa/utils/sshcontrol.py: Allows to copy symlinks to target

[mariano.lopez at linux.intel.com]

From: Mariano Lopez <mariano.lopez at linux.intel.com>

Currently when copying a symlink to the target it will fail
throwing an exception. This will recreate symlinks from the
system performing the tests to the device under tests.
