Don't error if exact link already exists

If the link already exists exactly (well almost exactly) as we are about to correct it, then it's okay. Otherwise we error out. This is a safe choice, and really, the correct choice too.

This will prevent the tickets like Homebrew/homebrew#11050 from occurring.
