Fixes directory order dependency for 'filenames-equal' option

With samename option enabled, possible matching hardlinks could be skipped depending on the directory iteration order and existing hardlink status of files. This was causing actual failure of test_hardlink_tree_filenames_equal() on...

Incorporates many @wolfospealain changes, and closes issue #1, #4, #5, #15, #17, #18, #20, #21, #24, #26, #27, and #28. I did a fresh series of merge/rebases to create a...

Change options to be more consistent with the filenames-equal option, preferring to hardlink files with identical content, unless the user chooses to also require matching modification time or ownership/mode properties....
