Subject: [PATCH] Do not install backward compatibility links anymore.

This is a companion patch to 4f9dcf7e5cf6c82455925102d315daf3b833e6d6
which stops mentioning the old command names.  As promised, we do not
install symlinks to let people use backward compatibility names anymore.

cmd-rename.sh script is still shipped to help people who installed
previous git by hand to clean up the leftover symlinks.
