dgit: unrepres. changes: Tolerate creation of symlinks
Experimentally, dpkg-source on stretch will create patches to create
new symlinks. (It will fail on attempts to modify existing symlinks
and it ignores attempts to change plain file executability.)
Implementation: add an alternative which tolerates the git symlink
mode. This replaces the check on $oldmode, which in this context we
know is all 0s and can therefore never match.
While we're here, change the error message.
Closes:#857382.
