Since the repair introduces artifical filelists, there is sometimes a race in CI where the purge is faster than a second causing the time sequences to not line up during testing.
There are occasionally times where the difference is greater than 500ms.

This is an attempt to avoid errors like "System.Exception : The previous
backup has time 9/27/2020 5:25:56 PM, but this backup has time 9/27/2020
5:25:55 PM. Something is wrong with the clock." We are seeing these
errors often recently in AppVeyor.
Replace `VerifyDir` and `CompareFiles` with
`AssertDirectoryTreesAreEquivalent` and `AssertFilesAreEqual`.
Move `WriteFile` to `TestUtils`.
Add "Symlink" category to start.sh.
This adds a basic symlink policy test that performs backups using each
symlink policy.
If you don't have the required privilege in Windows, you can get an
exception trying to create a symbolic link. If an exception is thrown
trying to create a symbolic link, the exception is trapped and the
test is marked as "Ignored"; e.g.,
```
1) Ignored : Duplicati.UnitTest.SymLinkTests.SymLinkPolicy
Client could not create a symbolic link. Error reported: (1314) A required privilege is not held by the client. | Read: [C:\td\backup-data\target] | Write: [C:\td\backup-data\symlink]
```
