Daniel Martí ef06a5f44a misc/reboot: don't use symlinks when copying GOROOT/src
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.
