repo-add: try symlink, then hardlink, then copy for DB file
We were seeing some issues when trying to create our new database alias using symlinks on certain filesystems (see FS#19907). Have a fallback method in place where we first try a symlink, then a hard link, then just copy the database if all else fails. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
