libalpm/add.c : safety check for fixing FS#9235.
Fixes FS#9235.
We already had the following case in extract_single_file :
/* cases 1,2,3: couldn't stat an existing file, skip all backup checks */
But we actually only did a lstat here. And if lstat worked, we did a stat
without checking.
When lstat works and stat fails, it means we have a broken symlink, like in
FS#9235. We can actually treat this case like a non-existing file.
The broken symlink will then be simply overwritten.
