Subject: t4011: remove SYMLINKS prerequisite

The part of the test that is about symbolic links in the index does not
require that the corresponding file system entry is actually a symbolic
link. Use test_ln_s_add to insert a symbolic link in the index. When
the file system does not support symbolic links, we actually have a
regular file in the worktree, which  we can update as if it were a
symbolic link. diff-index picks up the symbolic link property from the
index.
