Gracefully handle filesystems without hardlinks

Cristian Klein requested to merge gracefully-handle-fs-without-hardlinks into master

Some filesystems, such as FAT32, do not support hardlinks. On embedded systems /boot is often formatted as FAT32. Before this patch packages updating files on /boot had to resort to ugly hacks such as dpkg-divert-ing files in preinst and de-diverting postinst.
