Paul Eggert e8001d4c27 Do not munge contents of local symbolic links
This lets Emacs deal with arbitrary local symlinks without
mishandling their contents (Bug#28156).  For example,
(progn (shell-command "ln -fs '~' 'x'") (rename-file "x" "/tmp/x"))
now consistently creates a symbolic link from '/tmp/x' to '~'.
Formerly, it did that only if the working directory was on the
same filesystem as /tmp; otherwise, it expanded the '~' to
the user's home directory.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-get-filename): Use files--name-absolute-system-p
instead of rolling our own code.
* lisp/files.el (files--name-absolute-system-p): New function.
(file-truename, file-chase-links): Use it to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
(copy-directory, move-file-to-trash):
Use concat rather than expand-file-name, to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_symbolic_link): Do not expand leading "~" in the
target unless interactive.  Strip leading "/:" if interactive.
(emacs_readlinkat): Do not prepend "/:" to the link target if
it starts with "/" and contains ":" before NUL.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (try-link): Rename from try-char,
and accept a string instead of a char.  All uses changed.
(fileio-tests--symlink-failure): Also test leading ~, and "/:",
to test the new behavior.

README for the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual.

* Report bugs in the Lisp Manual (or in Emacs) using M-x report-emacs-bug.
To ask questions, use the help-gnu-emacs mailing list.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total around 3.0 megabytes.

* You can format this manual for Info, for printing hardcopy using TeX,
or for HTML.

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.  See <http://shop.fsf.org/>.
(At time of writing, this manual is out of print.)

* The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called 'elisp.texi'.
It contains @include commands to include all the chapters that make up
the manual.

* This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run 'make info'.

** Use 'make elisp.pdf' or 'make elisp.html' to create PDF or HTML versions.
