The size reported by stat.st_size might not be the size of the contents
of the symlink, since it might include metadata. In Android at least the
size of a symlink seems to start at 18 bytes, even if the contents are
smaller.
The commit disables the st_size comparison against the contents
comparison for Android, and rewrites a little the function to use Swift
constructs like defer and guards.
This fixes
TestFileManager.test_contentsEqual
in Android.PD: I don't know if the check is correct in many other file systems, but I don't think the test should be done at all. I only disabled it for Android because it is the only system where the symlinks doesn't seem to follow the pattern.
