    Allow system_server to hard link its own files · d9b0a34a

    Specifically, backup of wallpaper imagery needs to use hard links to
    achieve "real file" access to the large imagery files without rewriting
    the contents all the time just to stage for backup.  They can't be
    symlinks because the underlying backup mechanisms refuse to act on
    symbolic links for other security reasons.
