Subject: [PATCH] fix(rplugin): dont create data dir if it's a broken symlink
 #25726

Checking if it's non-empty and not a directory gets us quite far, but
not all the way. While a working symlink would trigger the earlier
checks, a broken symlink does not.

This commit fixes the special case where ~/.local/share/nvim  already
exists but is a broken symlink. Thus, it fixes the following error on
startup:

E739: Cannot create directory /home/samuel/.local/share/nvim: file
already exists
