Add symbolic links as alternative to hard links #520

@hannes-ucsc

Description

@hannes-ucsc

Potential improvements on top of the mere bug fix for #519:

Add a --link-method {hard|soft|copy},... command line argument and implement the soft method using symbolic links.

The default should be --link-method=hard. To try hard links first and then fall back to copies, the user would specify --link-method=hard,copy.

Any errors that occur during the actual linking should cause a diagnostic message to be printed that alerts the user of the --link-method option.
