Subject: [PATCH] update symlink highlighting

Previously we highlighted symlinks as one item (NERDTreeLink):

    symlinked_file -> /path/to/target

Split this out into 3 highlight groups:
    * NERDTreeLinkFile
    * NERDTreeLinkDir
    * NERDTreeLinkTarget

So we have:

    symlinked_dir/ -> /foo/bar
    -------------- ***********
         ^               ^
         |               |
    NERDTreeLinkDir   NERDTreeLinkTarget

Similarly for file links - with NERDTreeLinkFile instead of
NERDTreeLinkDir.

This allows users to modify how symlinks are highlighted. E.g. to make
them appear as normal files/dirs they could add this to their vimrc:

    hi link NERDTreeLinkFile NERDTreeFile
    hi link NERDTreeLinkDir NERDTreeDir
    hi link NERDTreeLinkTarget ignore
