[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] setperms: skip ghost symlinks (RhBug:1900662) (PR #1854)

[Michal Domonkos]

Since we record the symlink permission bits (777) in the database and
chmod(1) affects the pointed-to file (not the symlink itself), applying
these bits to anything on the file system would either be pointless (a
symlink) or an error (a ghost file installed as a regular file but
recorded as a symlink in the database).

The former is already handled with the -L test, this commit handles the
latter.
