Yep, and so could rename, where this was copied from.  Fixed in the respin
below.

Theoretically, a good compiler can do just as well with either.  But how
does it look now?

Also fixed below; actually this one is fixed by using PC_NULLEMPTY, which
guarantees newpc.error will be set to ENOENT and skip this line of code.

	* syscalls.cc (link): Delete obsolete comment.  Reject directories
	and missing source up front.
	(rename): Use correct errno for trailing '.'.  Detect empty
	strings.  Allow trailing slash to newpath iff oldpath is
	directory.
	* dir.cc (mkdir): Reject dangling symlink with trailing slash.
	* fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::link): Reject
	trailing slash.
	* fhandler.cc (fhandler_base::link): Match Linux errno.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
