etc: remove obsolete directories
This patch adds handling of a directory becoming a symlink in
/etc. Before this patch, the directory wasn't removed and then
symlinking failed, which caused directory not being updated at all.

The idea for the patch goes to @abbradar at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978#issuecomment-232921903:

The only difference here -- it will not replace user configs.

This also fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978.
