index/fileops: Correctly process symbolic links

gitfo_exists() used to error out if the given file was a symbolic link,
due to access() returning an error code. This is not expected behaviour,
as gitfo_exists() should only check whether the file itself exists, not
its link target if it is a symbolic link.

Fix this by calling gitfo_lstat() instead, which is just a wrapper for
lstat().

Also fix the same error in index_init_entry().
