Comment:fix(checkout): write symlink entries as fossil does, so a fresh checkout extracts

Since the scan began recording islink and chnged 7/9, Create followed by Extract without Force failed on any repository with an "l" file: the file was missing, the scan read it as UNLINK, and the missing-file skip only covered plain edits.

Extract and Update now write a symlink entry as fossil's vfile_to_disk does: as a symlink to the blob content while allow-symlinks is on and the storage can make links, otherwise as a plain file holding the target. A symlink is deleted before a file is written over it, and setMergedMode leaves symlinks and directories alone, as file_setexe does. Extract's missing-file skip covers mode changes too, so the first Extract after Create plays fossil's open whatever the entry.

With allow-symlinks off, fossil itself reports such a file UNLINK and its checkout refuses without --force; Extract keeps that behavior, and an interop test pins it against fossil's open in both modes.

ScanENotFile no longer refuses a directory at a pending add or removal recorded with chnged=0, matching the else-if in vfile_check_signature.

Tracked in #449

test(fsltype): check macOS fossil's event times at its own long double

TestTextJulianDayMatchesFossil compared macOS arm64 fossil's stored values with the text form at the running platform's long double, so it failed on linux-x64, where fossil itself stores different last digits. TestTextJulianDayPerLongDouble already checks those values at 53 bits and linux-x64 fossil's at 64, so the platform-blind test goes. check-in: e499428d3b user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk
