REVISION SUMMARY
  This patch copies the symlinked file's contents upon a copy - like /usr/bin/cp instead of creating a new symlink. This is an attempt to fix https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315482 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335808 which were reported in gwenview and was done per consensus in an IRC discussion on #kde-devel on freenode. Also see  https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125227/ . Please review it SOON before Phabricator is replaced by something else.
