Remove configure probe for link.

link() is in SUSv2 and all targeted Unix systems have it.  We have
replacement code for Windows that doesn't require a configure probe.
Since only Windows needs it, rename src/port/link.c to win32link.c like
other similar things.

There is no need for a vestigial HAVE_LINK macro, because we expect all
Unix and, with our replacement function, Windows systems to have it, so
we didn't have any tests around link() usage.
