etc: remove obsolete directories

Browse Source 
This patch adds handling of a directory becoming a symlink in
/etc. Before this patch, the directory wasn't removed and then
symlinking failed, which caused directory not being updated at all.

The idea for the patch goes to @abbradar at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978#issuecomment-232921903:
> A heuristic idea for this -- a function `isStatic :: Path -> Bool`:
>
> * if path `/etc/foo` is a file, return True iff it's a symlink to `/etc/static/foo`.
> * if path is a directory, return True iff for all items in it `isStatic` is True.
>
> On any conflicts, if old path is static, it's safe to replace and/or
> delete stale. Otherwise make a backup and notify the user via a
> journal entry and console output.

The only difference here -- it will not replace user configs.

This also fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978.
