[OE-core] [PATCH] git: create symlink rather than hardlink between bin/ and libexec/

[Hongxu Jia]

In package.bbclass, the split_and_strip_files processes debug splitting,
if two hardlinks locate in different dirs, one of them could not
find separated debug info file
[snip]
$ readelf --debug-dump /usr/libexec/git-core/git-add
Contents of the .gnu_debuglink section:

  Separate debug info file: git

$ gdb --quiet /usr/libexec/git-core/git-add
Reading symbols from /usr/libexec/git-core/git-add...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
[snip]

Define INSTALL_SYMLINKS to have everything that can be symlinked between
bin/ and libexec/ to use relative symlinks between the two. It workarounds
the issue.
