Merge branch 'js/test-ln-s-add'
Many tests that check the behaviour of symbolic links stored in the
index or the tree objects do not have to be skipped on a filesystem
that lack symbolic link support.

t3509, t4023, t4114: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
t3100: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
t3030: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
t0000: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
tests: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite (trivial cases)
