Use correct hard link information after partial recalculation or deletion
Hard link detection is now done in a separate pass on the in-memory tree, and duplicates can be 'removed' and 're-added' on the fly. When making any changes in the tree, all hard links are re-added before the operation and removed again afterwards. While this guarantees that all hard link information is correct, it does have a few drawbacks. I can currently think of two: 1. It's not the most efficient way to do it, and may be quite slow on large trees. Will have to do some benchmarks later to see whether it is anything to be concerned about. 2. The first encountered item is considered as 'counted' and all items encountered after that are considered as 'duplicate'. Because the order in which we traverse the tree doesn't always have to be the same, the items that will be considered as 'duplicate' can vary with each deletion or re-calculation. This might cause confusion for people who aren't aware of how hard links work.
