Add support for package linking. #3

Since we are adding support for splitting in autobuild3, we need to specify something to help abbs navigate to the parent package. We have two choices for this:

  1. Symlink + Readlink. This makes the source tree clean, and I like it.
  2. Special Field in abbs spec. This is like using #REDIRECT in MediaWiki.

This may also help with default providing, like using bash as default for sh. However, advanced provided by functions requires some extra work, like going through the list of providers and look for the first one that has no conflict with current packages.

Or simply link the directories...

@MingcongBai That is the symlink stuff.

@Arthur2e5 Well it can do it now can't it?
