  Issue #8741: Fixed the TarFile.makelink() method that is responsible
  for extracting symbolic and hard link entries as regular files as a
  work-around on platforms that do not support filesystem links.

  This stopped working reliably after a change in r74571. I also added
  a few tests for this functionality.
