test-recurse-dir: work around nftw() ignoring symlinks()

We have a test where we compare the results from nftw() and our own
resurce_dit_at(). nftw() skips a dangling symlink when running under mkosi and
the test fails. I don't understand why nftw() does that, but in our code we
don't need to test and care about the details of nftw(), which we don't use,
outside of the one test, so let's just skip symlinks in the test.

Closes #29603.
