When pkg_tar.prefix_dir == base of symlink path, don't double-dip. (#749

)

* Correct for case where tar has prefix_dir and files/symlinks, but the
user has already mapped the prefix_dir into those paths. Under the old
behavior, prefix_dir was (incorrectly) not added to symlinks, so some
users made the desired prefix part of the link.  Protecting them
against the double inclusion of the prefix is probably the least
surprising behavior.

Add tests for this, which required improving verify_archive_test.

* make buildifier happy

* do not run the symlink test on windows

* huh? why are symlinks in a tree failing on CI?
