 - import-tars: support hard links

 "import-tars" fast-import script (in contrib/) used to ignore a
 hardlink target and replaced it with an empty file, which has been
 corrected to record the same blob as the other file the hardlink is
 shared with.

For the record: this came up, and is required, for my CI work on Windows,
as many MSYS2 packages contain hard-linked files (think about *all* the
builtins in Git, for example). I will use Git to synchronize MSYS2 setups
between build agents.

Ciao,
