Description

Currently, we remove or rename a symlink in FSShell, symlink target is affected instead of symlink itself. However FileSystem#delete and FileSystem#rename can operate on symlinks rather than their targets.
FSShell should have consistent behavior as FileSystem on symlink remove and rename
