cp: restrict copy through dangling symlink with -f
Change `cp` to terminate with an error when attempting to copy through a dangling symbolic link with the `--force` option. Before this commit, touch src ln -s no-such-file dest cp -f src dest would incorrectly replace `dest` with the contents of `src`. After this commit, it correctly fails with the error message cp: not writing through dangling symlink 'dest'
