Use a symbolic link instead of copy to /usr/local/sbin/.. #165

I propose to use symbolic links for the cloned files instead of copy them to /usr/local/sbin Ex. sudo ln -s $(pwd)/rpi-clone /usr/local/sbin/rpi-clone sudo ln -s $(pwd)/rpi-clone-setup /usr/local/sbin/rpi-clone-setup

The major advantage is: if you update to the latest release by: sudo git fetch https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone.git

If/when updates are made to rpi-clone or rpi-clone-setup the links in /usr/local/sbin are then pointing to the new updated files. Eg. no need to copy the files..
