Auto merge of #3118 - cbiffle:master, r=alexcrichton
Fall back to fs::copy when hard_link fails. Some filesystems don't allow hard links. Since Cargo's use of hard links is an optimization, and not necessary for correctness, it can fall back to a file copy when hard linking is not available. This is one possible solution to #3098. Caveat: this will try to copy if the hard link fails *for any reason*. It's not clear that there's a more surgical way of handling this; Unix tends to indicate the condition as "permission denied," not with a granular "links not supported by filesystem" error.
