We will not be able to carry the revert for Qt5Core forever. I suspect it will
be gone with Qt6, and then all we can do is ewarn users that their clock will
be broken if their localtime is not a symlink.
Keeping it as a file would mean convincing upstream(s) that the symlink is a
systemd-ism, not a standard.
