ELF: Only unlink regular files
Summary:
If the output file is a character file (e.g. /dev/null) unlinking it could
potentially destabilize the user's system. For example,
unlinking causes `lld %input -o /dev/null` to replace /dev/null with a
regular file, which will lead to unexpected behavior in other programs
that read from /dev/null, and worse than expected peformance for
programs that write to /dev/null.
This makes it possible to run the test-release.sh script as root.
Prior to this patch, the ELF/basic.s test would replace
/dev/null with a regular file, which would cause crashes in llvm
test-suite programs that piped /dev/null to stdin.
For example, if you run the test-relase.sh script as root,
