```
std.fs.Dir: Refactor atomicSymLink from std.fs

Deprecates std.fs.atomicSymLink and removes the allocator requirement
from the new std.fs.Dir.atomicSymLink. Replaces the two usages of this
within std.

I did not include the TODOs from the original code that were based
off of `switch (err) { ..., else => return err }` not having correct
inference that cases handled in `...` are impossible in the error
union return type because these are not specified in many places but
I can add them back if wanted.

Thank you @squeek502 for help with fixing buffer overflows!
