checkout: Don't hardlink zero sized files

Alternative to ostreedev#2197

Python's (usually) zero-sized `__init__.py` files can provoke
us hitting the hardlink limits on some filesystems (`EMLINK`).
At least one Fedora rpm-ostree user hit this.

The benefits of hardlinking here are quite marginal; lots
of hardlinks can behave suboptimally in particular filesystems
like BTRFS too.

This builds on prior code which made this an option, introduced
in ostreedev@673cacd
Now we just do it uncondtionally.

Also this provoked a different bug in a very obscure user mode checkout
case; when the "real" permissions were different from the "physical"
permissions, we would still hardlink.  Fix the test case for this.
