Ensure that we have /sbin/mount.smb* links

Currently, samba (3.0.23c, but shown in all recipes) does not create a correct
symlink for mount.smbfs.  The problem is that within the installer we have:
 # this is a special case, mount needs this in a specific location
 if [ $p2 = smbmount ]; then
   if [ ! -d $DESTDIR/@rootsbindir@ ]; then
      mkdir $DESTDIR/@rootsbindir@
   fi
   echo "Creating sym link $DESTDIR/@rootsbindir@/mount.smbfs to $BINDIR/$p2 "
   ln -sf $BINDIR/$p2 $DESTDIR/@rootsbindir@/mount.smbfs
 fi
In samba-3.0.23c/source/script/installbin.sh.in.  The problem here is that once
we actually setup to build, this becomes (from the install log):

Creating sym link
/home/trini/OE/projects/build_test1/work/mips-linux-gnu/samba-3.0.23c-r1/image//usr/sbin/mount.smbfs
to /usr/bin/smbmount

So we don't actually end up with a link in /sbin like we must.  The patch I've
attached ensure that:
- Any link in /sbin is removed.  This is because some older recipes did this
possibly as they had a wrong link there.
- We remove the broken link created by the install
- /sbin does exist.

Finally, we provide links for both '-t smb' and '-t smbfs' as other
distributions support either method.

Note that CIFS is also broken and will be a follow-up patch.
