cscope doesn't work with symbolic link file

#214 cscope ignores symlinks to files

       stat() stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.

       lstat() is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link, then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to.


This is the reason why cscope doesn't work symbolic link file.

Fix: I'm trying to use cscope to index a source tree that contains symlinks to files located outside of the tree. cscope won't process these files, since dir.c uses lstat() and checks for S_ISREG, which will never be true of the symlink itself. I can make cscope do what I want by changing the lstat() to stat() in accessible_file().
