[elbe-devel] [PATCH v4 1/8] Add support for lexists and fix dangling symbolic links

[dion at linutronix.de]

From: Olivier Dion <dion at linutronix.de>

>From issue #199: https://github.com/Linutronix/elbe/issues/199

lexists acts like:
------------------------------------------------------------
os.path.exist(path) or os.path.islink(path).
------------------------------------------------------------
on systems supporting os.stats.

This should ensure moving/removing of broken links works as expected.
