Lev Devaev c5112be66b archive: read symlinks stored in zip and squashfs archives ...

A symlink in an archive was listed as an ordinary file holding the link
target by the zip backend, and dropped entirely by the squashfs one.

Symlinks are now skipped unless -l/--links is in use, as they are on the
other backends.  With that flag they are listed with the .rclonelink
suffix and read back as the path they point at, so they can be copied to
a destination which supports symlinks.

This changes what the zip backend lists by default: a symlink used to
appear as a small file whose contents were the link target, and is now
skipped with a NOTICE naming the flag.

Fixes #9569
