```
fs: Add tests for deleteTree not following symlinks

In theory this is part of https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/18335, but these tests already pass since deleteTree does not depend on `OpenDirOptions.no_follow` behavior for these test cases:

- `deleteTree` always tries to delete the initial path as a file first, which will succeed on symlinks because `deleteFile` doesn't follow symlinks
- `deleteTree` when iterating a directory will get the type of symlinks as .sym_link, not as .directory (even if the symlink points to a directory), meaning it will never try to open a symlink as a directory.

```
