1. building: MERGE: fix symlink bookkeeping …

   Implement separate bookkeeping for SYMLINK entries in the MERGE
   processing. With symlinks, we must track `(dest_path, src_path)`
   pairs instead of just `src_path`, because the `src_path` encodes
   the relative link destination, and might appear multiple times
   in different context. For example, on macOS, each Qt .framework
   bundle has a symlink `Current -> A`.
   
   So if the bookkeeping is done only based on `src_path`, only one
   .framework bundle in first `Analysis` (where these bundles occur)
   retains its symlink in the `binaries`/`datas` TOC, while the rest
   are moved into `dependencies` TOC. This means that such executable
   unncessarily gains onefile copy/extraction semantics if
   `dependencies` are properly set to `EXE` (if it was originally
   a onedir executable); on the other hand, if `dependencies` are not
   passed on to `EXE` (mis-use of `MERGE`), the symlinks would end up
   missing in the otherwise unchanged executable.
