SFTP: consider supporting hard link extension — at Version 2

Description (last modified by davidsarah)

OpenSSH's SFTP server recently (in version 5.7) added a ​hardlink extension, and there is a ​patch to support it in sshfs.

Hardlinks are closer in semantics to the links that Tahoe directories have to their children, than are symlinks. So we might want to support this even though we do not support symlinks (yet).
