walkdir: avoid symlink loops when follow_symlinks == false (#35006)

* walkdir: avoid symlink loops when `follow_symlinks == false`

Because `isdir()` attempts to dereference symlinks, attempting to
`walkdir()` trees that contain symlink loops errors out. This change
modifies `walkdir()` to treat all symlinks as files when
`follow_symlinks == false`.

* rm: When checking `filemode()`, use `lstat()` to avoid following symlinks
