Should be able to make /etc/puppet a symlink

Description

Hi,

I made /etc/puppet a symlink into a directory in a version control repository. puppetmasterd destroyed the symlink at startup, and created a new directory structure without any configuration files in it. This alarms me.

Puppetmasterd should treat the symlink as an ordinary directory if it behaves like one, and I shouldn't have to set --confdir (which is, incidentally, not in puppetmasterd's --help).

Cheers, Peter
