go:embed disallows using symlinked files by design.
crypto/elliptic is the first std package to use it as of CL 380475,
and unfortunately that broke the TestRepeatBootstrap long test.
The reason it uses symlinks is for speed; it wants to copy GOROOT/src,
but regular files aren't going to be modified in any way,
so a symlink, if supported, means not needing to copy the contents.
Replace the symlink attempt with hard links,
which will mean regular files remain as such, fixing go:embed.
It's worth noting that on many systems hard links won't work,
as the temporary filesystem tends to be separate,
but it doesn't hurt to try.
In my system, where /tmp is tmpfs, the test now copies more bytes.
With the added Logf, I can see overlayDir goes from ~30ms to ~100ms.
This makes sense, as GOROOT/src currently weighs around 100MiB.
To alleviate that slow-down, stop copying testdata directories,
as they currently weigh around 20MiB and aren't needed for the test.
This gets overlayDir on my system down to an acceptable ~70ms.
I briefly considered teaching overlayDir what files can be symlinks,
but that seemed fairly complex long-term, as any file could be embedded.
While here, start using testing.T.TempDir and fs.WalkDir.
For #50995.

It turns out that the relative-path support never worked in the first
place.
It had been masked by the fact that we ~never invoke overlayDir with
an absolute path, which caused filepath.Rel to always return an error,
and overlayDir to always fall back to absolute paths.
Since the absolute paths seem to be working fine (and are simpler),
let's stick with those. As far as I can recall, the relative paths
were only a space optimization anyway.
