Installing a plugin no longer follows a symlink upward into the folder it is filling.

What
Copying a directory tree, such as installing a plugin, now skips any symlink whose target resolves to an ancestor of the destination, alongside the existing skip for symlinks that point back into themselves. This prevents a copy from walking upward into the directory it is filling.
Details
- The skip is logged rather than silent.
- The older cyclic-target check is unchanged and still applies.
Evidence
copyDir: skipping symlink to an ancestor directory
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
