[bug] Symbolic links not being preserved

[julek-wolfssl]

What happened?

Symbolic links are not being preserved between upload and download. This started last Friday.

What did you expect to happen?

Symbolic links should be preserved.

How can we reproduce it?

Upload an artifact folder containing a symbolic link with upload-artifact then download it and observe that the link is not preserved.

See https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/actions/runs/10248593263/job/28350278146 for an example. The ls step shows that libwolfssl.so and libwolfssl.so.42 are no longer symbolic links (it also shows what a symbolic link should look like). The cat and file steps show that the symbolic links are just populated with the link target name.

Anything else we need to know?
