Subject: [PATCH] shared/install: when we fail to chase a symlink, show some
 logs

When chase_symlinks() fails, we'd get the generic error:

  Failed to disable: Permission denied.

Let's at least add the failure to changes list, so the user gets
a slightly better message. Ideally, we'd say where exactly the permission
failure occured, but chase_symlinks() is a library level function and I don't
think we should add logging there. The output looks like this now:

  Failed to resolve symlink "/tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias2.service": Permission denied
  Failed to resolve symlink "/tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias.service": Permission denied
  Failed to disable unit, file /tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias2.service: Permission denied.
  Failed to disable unit, file /tmp/systemctl-test.1r7Roj/etc/systemd/system/link5alias.service: Permission denied.

(cherry picked from commit 212a24f0bbe4c54183d3b0ad9579a995007e29a8)
