tmpfiles: Allow create symlink on directories (#6039)
Currently if tmpfiles is run with force on symlink creation but there already
exists a directory at that location, the creation will fail. This change
updates the behavior to remove the directory with rm_fr and then attempts to
create the symlink again.
