[issue10292] tarinfo should use relative symlinks

[Benjamin Root]

Benjamin Root added the comment:

To clarify, the bug is resolved in py2.7 -- for the most part. I think I have come upon an edge-case where if the archived symbolic link refers to a file not contained in a subdirectory, say: "foo.txt -> foobar.txt", extracting "foo.txt" would result in an exception: 'KeyError: "linkname '/foobar.txt' not found"'.
