Bug Description

Numerous plugins (and snapcraft internals) use file_utils.link_or_copy_tree to migrate files around. However, it doesn't copy symlinks pointing to directories as symlinks-- it creates new directories instead. It should handle symlinks to directories exactly the same way as symlinks to files.
