Avoid no-op unlink+link dances in incr comp

Incremental compilation scales quite poorly with the number of CGUs. This PR improves one reason for that.

The incr comp process hard-links all the files from an old session into a new one, then it runs the backend, which may just hard-link the new session files into the output directory. Then codegen hard-links all the output files back to the new session directory.

This PR (perhaps unimaginatively) fixes the silliness that ensues in the last step. The old `link_or_copy` implementation would be passed pairs of paths which are already the same inode, then it would blindly delete the destination and re-create the hard-link that it just deleted. This PR lets us skip both those operations. We don't skip the other two hard-links.

This reduces the number of hard-links that are causing perf troubles, noted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64291 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137560
