bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlink
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
* THANKS: Add Michael McLagan.
Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.
