test: make symlink tree checks filesystem-independent
The probe only checked isSymbolicLink(), but on WSL DrvFs a symlink can 'succeed' with a mangled readlink - so the probe reported support, exact-match ran, and the tree still mismatched. Verify readlink() in the probe, and make expectTree independent of the probe: it tolerates any symlink materialization (real link, stub file, mangled target, or skipped) by checking the non-symlink structure, while still catching a real missing-file diff. Symlink correctness stays with the integrity tests, which run only where symlinks genuinely work.
