Todo:
- [x] Tests
- [ ] Doc
- [x] Getting someone to test on Windows as exception might differ from symlink functionality
## Why
Symlinks are good for directories, but for files hardlinks are sometime a better match when needing to represent same file in several locations.
One use case for this feature is for multi tagging of Http Cache when running against FileSystem. Multi tagging is used in FoSHttpCache and supported when running Varnish, but not with Symfony HTTPCache, yet.. With hardlinks combined with meta information containing tags within the file, lookup and reverse lookup is thus easily possible.
## What
Introduces method `hardlink()` with similar behavior as `symlink`, difference being:
- Allowing several targets to be provided to match use case in 'why'
- Like `symlink` removes existing target if not the same, but uses `fileinode` to compare target & source
