modules/age: add option to disable symlinking

Browse source 
There are some cases where it may be better or even required to have the
secret be a file that is not a symlink. Setting

    age.secrets.some-secret.symlink = false;

will disable the default functionality of symlinking secrets and instead
just forcibly move them to their `path`.

when rekeyed, even if the identities do not. (This eventually could be
improved upon by reading the identities from the age file.)
## Don't symlink secret
If your secret cannot be a symlink, you should set the `symlink` option to `false`:
```nix
{
age.secrets.some-secret = {
file = ./secret;
path = "/var/lib/some-service/some-secret";
symlink = false;
};
}
```
Instead of first decrypting the secret to `/run/agenix` and then symlinking to its `path`, the secret will instead be forcibly moved to its `path`. Please note that, currently, there are no cleanup mechanisms for secrets that are not symlinked by agenix.
