Symlinks in opt and LinkedKegs point directly at a keg in the cellar, so
only resolving one symlink should suffice, and make it clear what path
we are actually interested in.
* Aborting during reinstall will now restore the originally installed
keg.
- Change install code to pass on CannotInstallFormulaError exception
to caller so it can be reused in reinstall.
* Add "--force-new-install" flag to force installing a new formula.

... and not just installed ones. Of course, strictly speaking,
reinstalling not-yet-installed formulae makes semantically little
sense, but the big win is that we can tell people (after we have
resolved an issue) to `brew reinstall <formula>` and even if a user
has removed that formula in the meantime, reinstall will do the right
thing. Basically adding --force to uninstall. I think this makes
reinstall more robust.

Now, we can finally stop stuggesting to
`brew rm <foo>` and then `brew install <foo> <with-your-preferred options>
So `brew reinstall` will honor all options that have been recorded
into the INSTALL_RECEIPT.json plus if `--build-bottle` was used.
