* tests/fCmd.test:

	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of
	just copying the surface link.  This means that trying to copy a
	link that has no endpoint (danling link) is an error.
	[Patch #591647] (darley)
