pg_ls_dir_* will now skip (no longer show) symbolic links, same as other
non-regular file types, as we advertize we do since 8b6d94cf6.  That seems to
be the intented behavior, since irregular file types are 1) less portable; and,
2) we don't currently show a file's type except for "bool is_dir".

pg_stat_file will now 1) show metadata of links themselves, rather than their
target; and, 2) specifically, show links to directories with "is_dir=false";
and, 3) not error on broken symlinks.

hi.
simlar to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel//xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-ADDIN-WAIT-EVENTS


in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel//xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-ADDIN-INJECTION-POINTS
do we need to add a sentence like " An injections points usage example
can be found in src/test/modules/injection_points in the PostgreSQL
source tree."
before "Enabling injections points requires --enable-injection-points
with configure or -Dinjection_points=true with Meson."
?

Indeed.  I intended originally to add a pointer to the module in the
docs, but it somewhat got lost in the rebases of the patch.  Will fix,
thanks for the report!
