Fix: readlink() not returning target symlink when it is desired

Core api command readlink() was depending on a git configuration specific setting of has_symlinks to decide whether it should attempt to return the target of a symlink.  It should be up to the caller to check whether symlinks are enabled not up to the api command readlink().  If a caller wants to get a symlink target, then it should get it regardless of whether symlinks are configured in git's core.symlinks setting.
