Stop counting directories and unchanged symlinks as files to back up (closes #305)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

Every backup queued every directory and symlink for the second phase.
The line ending the walk counted directories, and their stat sizes, as
files to back up while its enumerated count left them out, and a
symlink was counted as backed up on every run, its target length as
data.

The walk now sets directories aside: they are recorded before the files
are backed up and never counted as files or data, and the walk's
progress estimate leaves out the directories the local index knows. A
symlink is checked against its record like a regular file, its target
included, so an unchanged one counts as unchanged.

Judgement call: every directory is still written to the local index on
every backup, as before; no report shows it.

## Deduplication Strategy
1. **File-level**: Files unchanged since last backup are skipped (metadata comparison: size, mtime, mode, uid, gid), unless the file lists a chunk that no uploaded blob holds; such a file is re-chunked
1. **File-level**: Files and symlinks unchanged since last backup are skipped (metadata comparison: size, mtime, mode, uid, gid, and a symlink's target), unless the file lists a chunk that no uploaded blob holds; such a file is re-chunked
2. **Chunk-level**: Chunks are content-addressed by SHA256 hash. If a chunk hash already exists in the database, the chunk data is not re-uploaded.
