ln: with -sr, don't segfault for a TARGET of ''
Prior to this change, "ln -sr '' F" would segfault, attempting to read path2[1] in relpath.c's path_common_prefix function. This problem arises whenever canonicalize_filename_mode returns NULL. * src/ln.c (convert_abs_rel): Call relpath only when both canonicalize_filename_mode calls return non-NULL. * tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test to trigger this failure. * THANKS.in: List reporter's name/address. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Erik Bernstein in 739752@bugs.debian.org. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17010.
