Before this change, if writing to a local backend with --metadata and
--links, if the incoming metadata contained mode or ownership
information then rclone would apply the mode/ownership to the
destination of the link not the link itself.
This fixes the problem by using the link safe sycall variants
lchown/fchmodat when --links and --metadata is in use. Note that Linux
does not support setting permissions on symlinks, so rclone emits a
debug message in this case.
This also fixes setting times on symlinks on Windows which wasn't
implemented for atime, mtime and was incorrectly setting the target of
the symlink for btime.

Before this change it was setting the modification times of the things
that the symlinks pointed to.
Note that this is only implemented for unix style OSes. Other OSes
will not attempt to set the modification time of a symlink.
