docs: path-lookup: no get_link()
no get_link() anymore. we have step_into() and pick_link(). walk_component() will call step_into(), in turn call pick_link, and return symlink name.

When a symlink is found, ``walk_component()`` returns the value ``1``

(``0`` is returned for any other sort of success, and a negative number

is, as usual, an error indicator). This causes ``get_link()`` to be

called; it then gets the link from the filesystem. Providing that
