Subject: [PATCH] Ignore symlinks in style checks

Our style checks were adding problems when adding symlinks to directories:
* `prettier` will error out if told to format a directory that doesn't contain any files it can format.
* `git` will report new symlinks to directories as new files.
* `prettier` will interpret symlinks to directories as directories.
* Therefore, if adding a symlink to a directory that doesn't have any `prettier`-relevant files, `prettier` will error out.

We avoid this (and any other symlink confusion) by excluding symlinks from style checks. By definition they'll point to a real file or directory that will be getting formatted anyway.
