There was a ton of duplication which is not maintainable, so refactor
everything into a single test which still covers the differences.
This in turn revealed some issues in the unstowing logic:
- We shouldn't conflict if we find a file which isn't a link or a
directory; we can just skip over it.
- Unstowing with `--dotfiles` was using the wrong variable to obtain
the package path, and as a result having to perform an unnecessary
call to `adjust_dotfile()`.
So fix those at the same time.
is_a_node(), is_a_dir(), is_a_link() all operate on paths within
the target directory, so make this explicit by avoiding the vague
variable name "$path".
The use of the word "source" to describe a link's destination is
confusing in the context of Stow for reasons explained in the manual.
So rename the $source variable to avoid this.

So rename the $existing_source variable to $link_dest avoid this.
The use of the word "source" to describe a link's destination is
confusing in the context of Stow for reasons explained in the manual.
So rename the $second_source variable to avoid this.
$path is horribly vague, so rename to $link to be more informative.
Also the use of "$target" to describe a link's destination is very
confusing in the context of Stow for reasons explained in the manual.
So rename to $link_dest.
The $target variable was ambiguous, as it could have referred to the
path to the target directory, or the path to a sub-directory in the
target, as well as its intended meaning of a subpath relative to the
target directory. So rename it to try to find the balance between
clarity and verbosity.
This is very similar to a previous commit which did the same rename in
stow_node().
The $target variable was ambiguous, as it could have referred to the
path to the target directory, or the path to a sub-directory in the

clarity and verbosity.
Refactor the compat mode code to reuse the existing unstow_contents()
and unstow_node(). This allows us to remove the parallel versions in
unstow_contents_orig() and unstow_node(), which contained a lot of
duplicated code and were a significant maintenance burden.

As previously noted, the old comment style was difficult to edit.
It's also not idiomatic Perl style, so reformat as pod. This exposes
more of the inner workings of Stow as documentation, but that
shouldn't be a problem.
As part of this change, remove outdated and sometimes misleading
information about if/when each function throws an exception.
Some methods had comments with a prefix which made the paragraph
inconveniently narrow, and made refilling it really awkward. So
switch to a more natural comment style.
When unstowing a package, cleanup_invalid_links() is invoked to remove
any invalid links owned by Stow. It was invoking link_owned_by_package()
to check whether each existing link is owned by Stow. This in turn
called find_stowed_path() which since 40a0807185 was not allowing for
the possibility that it could be passed a symlink *not* owned by Stow
with an absolute target and consequently emitting an erroneous warning.
So remove this erroneous warning, and refactor find_stowed_path()
to use two new helper functions for detecting stow directories:
link_dest_within_stow_dir() and find_containing_marked_stow_dir().
Also refactor the logic within each to be simpler and more accurate,
and add more test cases to the corresponding parts of the test suite.
Fixes#65.
Closes#103.
