    Mark up file diffs that add, change or remove a symlink so that a label can be
    shown in the UI to indicate that the file is a symlink.
    
    Also normalize a git patch containing a symlink to make the file appear as a
    regular file, otherwise patch fails to apply the diff, complaining about the
    file not being a symlink.

    Unit test.

    Tested with a patch adding a symlink and changing another symlink. The files
    were properly marked with " (symlink)" in the UI.
