Gert Wollny 3e0dbfde91 meson, install_megadrivers: Also remove stale symlinks ...

os.path.exists doesn't return True for stale symlinks, but they are in
the way later, when a link/file with the same name is to be created.
For instance it is conceivable that the pointed to file is replaced by
a file with a new name, and then the symlink is dead.

To handle this check specifically for all existing symlinks to be
removed. (This bugged me for some time with a link libXvMCr600.so
always being in the way of installing this file)

v2: use only os.lexist and replace all instances of os.exist (Dylan Baker)

v3: handle directory check correctly (Eric Engestrom)

Fixes: f7f1b30f81
       ("meson: extend install_megadrivers script to handle symmlinking")
