os.Stat follows symlinks and returns NotExist error when the target doesn't exist, even if the symlink itself exists. This prevented gomi from removing broken symlinks. Using os.Lstat examines the symlink itself rather than following it, allowing gomi to correctly detect and remove broken symlinks. Fixes #99
