    libstdc++: Test that fs::remove and fs::remove_all do not follow symlinks
    
    Test that fs::remove and fs::remove_all delete an initial directory
    symlink instead of following it. Also test that fs::remove_all
    delete symlinks inside a directory rather than following them.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * testsuite/27_io/filesystem/operations/remove.cc: Check that
            fs::remove deletes symlink instead of target.
            * testsuite/27_io/filesystem/operations/remove_all.cc: Likewise.
