populate flake-input: replace symlinks pointing outside the store
nix-store --add-root only replaces symlinks pointing into the store, so a symlink pointing elsewhere at the target path, e.g. one a symlink source left there, made delivering a flake fail. Populate removes such links. An edge case switches a symlink source to a flake source.
